Has anyone re-tried it? We switched back to RUN sdkmanager --package_file=$ANDROID_HOME/packages.txt in our Dockerfile back in March of 2021.

For what it's worth, I did a quick test with the latest CLI: 11076708 (https://developer.android.com/studio#downloads) on OSX and tried it with a simple:

./sdkmanager --sdk_root="../sdk" --package_file=deps.txt

Deps.txt:

platform-tools
extras;google;instantapps
build-tools;35.0.0-rc3

So perhaps this is now resolved? I haven't tried it with more packages

We don't expect to pull anymore updates to the 4.0 branch. Is it possible to use 8.0 or later?

OK, I'll try it with version 8.0.74.

Thanks for confirming the fix works and for reporting the issue! A fix will be pushed to 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 branches for R8.

I'm assuming you know the set up to use newer versions of R8 without AGP updates, but if not or others find this issue, I've included it below.

Amend your settings.gradle or settings.gradle.kts file with:

pluginManagement {
    buildscript {
        repositories {
            mavenCentral()
            maven {
                url = uri("https://storage.googleapis.com/r8-releases/raw")
            }
        }
        dependencies {
           classpath("com.android.tools:r8:8.0.74")
        }
    }
}

Since AGP 8, the R8 versions follow those of AGP, so if using AGP 8.0 use the latest version on the R8 8.0 branch (for this issue 8.0.74 or any later patch version).
