I face this issue after updating to 3.3.0

If you are not doing what error states in gradle file, it is some plugin that still didn't update to the newer API that cause this. To figure out which plugin is it do the following (as explained in "Better debug info when using obsolete API" of 3.3.0 announcement):

• Add 'android.debug.obsoleteApi=true' to your gradle.properties file which will log error with a more details


• Try again and read log details. There will be a trace of "problematic" plugin


• When you identify, try to disable it and see if issue is gone, just to be sure


• go to github page of plugin and create issue which will contain detailed log and clear description, so you help developers fix it for everyone faster


• be patient while they fix it, or you fix it and create PR for devs

Hope it helps others

This is just a warning and it will probably be fixed before 2019 with plugin updates so don't worry about it. I would recommend you to use compatible versions of your plugins and gradle.

You can check your plugin version and gradle version here for better experience and performance.

https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin

Try using the stable versions for a smooth and warning/error free code.

This is a warning spit out by build tools for two reasons.

1. One of the plugin is relying on Task instead of TaskProvider, there is nothing much we can do.

2. You have configured usage of task, where as it supports TaskProvider.

WARNING: API 'variant.getGenerateBuildConfig()' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'variant.getGenerateBuildConfigProvider()'.

It will be removed at the end of 2019.

For more information, see https://d.android.com/r/tools/task-configuration-avoidance



WARNING: API 'variant.getJavaCompile()' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'variant.getJavaCompileProvider()'.

It will be removed at the end of 2019.

For more information, see https://d.android.com/r/tools/task-configuration-avoidance



WARNING: API 'variant.getMergeResources()' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'variant.getMergeResourcesProvider()'.

It will be removed at the end of 2019.

For more information, see https://d.android.com/r/tools/task-configuration-avoidance

Look out for snippets as below & update.

android {

    <library|application>Variants.all { variant ->

        /* Disable Generating Build config */

        // variant.generateBuildConfig.enabled = true // <- Deprecated

        variant.generateBuildConfigProvider.configure {

            it.enabled = true // Replacement

        }

    }

}

Similarly, find usages of 'variant.getJavaCompile()' or 'variant.javaCompile', 'variant.getMergeResources()' or 'variant.mergeResources'. Replace as above.

if I remove this row from application gradle:

apply plugin: 'io.fabric'

error will not appear anymore.

Reference link github

Go back from classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0-alpha13' to classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0'

this worked for me

In my case, I had to comment out com.google.firebase.firebase-crash plugin:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

// apply plugin: 'com.google.firebase.firebase-crash' <== this plugin causes the error

It is a bug since Android Studio 3.3.0

Updating gradle to gradle:3.3.0

The default 'assemble' task only applies to normal variants. Add test variants as well.

android.testVariants.all { variant ->

    tasks.getByName('assemble').dependsOn variant.getAssembleProvider()

}

also comment apply fabric

//apply plugin: 'io.fabric'

Upgrading the Kotlin (Plugin and stdLib) version to 1.3.1 solved that warning in my case. Update the Kotlin version in whole project by replacing existing Kotlin version with :

ext.kotlin_version = '1.3.1'

When the plugin detects that you're using an API that's no longer supported, it can now provide more-detailed information to help you determine where that API is being used. To see the additional info, you need to include the following in your project's gradle.properties file:

android.debug.obsoleteApi=true

Here a temporary workaround, If you are using room just upgrade to 1.1.0 or higher

implementation "android.arch.persistence.room:runtime:1.1.0"

it removes this warning for me.

Downgrading the version of Gradle worked for me:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0'

In my case

build.gradle(Project)

was

ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.71'

updated to

ext.kotlin_version = '1.3.0'

looks problem has gone for now

Update fabric plugin to latest in project level gradle file (not app level). In my case this line solved the problem

classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.25.4'

to

classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.28.0'
