DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL:

Recently, our CI/CD started to crash uploading symbols to crashlytics with a message like this:

Execution failed for task ':app:collectDebugDependencies'.
> File /path/to/file/aar-containing-so-with-symbols-1.0.0.aar is too big (XXXXXXXXXX bytes) to fit in memory.

After a little digging, I found that the function readBytes from kotlin stdlib which is used in task PerModuleReportDependenciesTask throws such an exception if third-party aar file (I may not be exact here) is larger than 2 gigabytes.

@DisableCachingByDefault
@BuildAnalyzer(primaryTaskCategory = TaskCategory.BUNDLE_PACKAGING)
abstract class PerModuleReportDependenciesTask : NonIncrementalTask() {

	// omitted code

    private fun getFileDigest(file: File): ByteString {
        return ByteString.copyFrom(MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256").digest(file.readBytes()))
		                                                                    ^ throw error
    }
}

In our case we were able to get around problem by additionally configuring PerModuleReportDependenciesTask and filtering input files by size.

I made MCVE to reproduce bug, below I will describe how to reproduce bug
