Since AGP 8.2.0 aapt2 --emit-ids parameter stopped working.

My build.gradle.kts configuration:

android {
    androidResources {
        additionalParameters.add("--emit-ids")
        additionalParameters.add("$projectDir/stable-ids.txt")
    }
}

When I am using AGP 8.1.0 the stable-ids.txt is created and updated on every app build. When updating the AGP to 8.2.0 the file is no longer created.

--stable-ids parameter still works as expected.

Luke, can you chase it down with aapt2 folks and then integrate a newer version that fix the issue.

Setting as potential blocker for 8.5 since this is a regression.

I'm able to reproduce the expected behaviour in AGP 7.4, I haven't checked 8.1, but safe to say it works the same.

Yes, the file doesn't appear to be created in AGP 8.5.

What seems to be happening is that when the additionalArguments are set for --emit-ids, the build/intermediates/stable_resource_ids_file/<build variant>/stableIds.txt is always used regardless of what is set.

As a workaround the file is generated to build/intermediates/stable_resource_ids_file/<build variant>/stableIds.txt and could be copied where needed. This file is identical to using emit-ids. For this reason I am downgrading this issue to P2, as the file can be copied to the desired location as a workaround.
