Hi    In July, 2021 Google has published new version of Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) 7.0.0 and Android Studio: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin#7-0-0   So far latest version of AppDynamics plugin for Android is 21.6.0   When trying to build the project, there is such error probably caused by new API in latest AGP: Some problems were found with the configuration of task ':app:appDynamicsProcessProguardMappingDebug' (type 'ProcessProguardMappingFileTask'). - Type 'com.appdynamics.android.gradle.ProcessProguardMappingFileTask' property 'applicationName' is missing an input or output annotation.   It is the same even if Proguard is disabled (although by obvious reasons we are not going to disable Proguard anyway)   The issue is reproducible on sample project we created based on basic Android project to make sure it is not caused by our project setup: https://github.com/silin/appdynamics-mapping-upload-issues/tree/latest_gradle_plugin   When we try to switch our project to latest versions of Android Studio and AGP, AppDynamics becoming a blocker for this. Dev team is really frustrated with this, because they cannot use latest tools for development, and because it is not the first time when AppD becomes a blocker we constantly have discussions of dropping AppDynimics as a monitoring tool.   Could you please share some ideas about how to fix this or in what version of AppD and when it can be potentially fixed? ...

Hi    Previously, I had a request (Zendesk ticket #215430) for investigating issue with Proguard files not automatically uploaded, which was supposed to be fixed in 21.5.0.   But after updating to 21.5.0 new issue appeared: "Cannot get property 'buildID' on extra properties extension as it does not exist"    It looks like someone leaked some private API to public AppDynamics Gradle plugin API, because it looks like the plugin always assumes "buildID" value provided via extra property. It can be easily workarounded by providing some random value in project "ext", e.g.   ext.buildID = "AppDynamics workaround value"   After this project compiles fine.  But I have no idea how it will affect rest of the functionality. As it is nowhere mentioned in official docs, still need some official guidance how to fix this issue.   I also have samle project where it is reproducible: https://github.com/silin/appdynamics-mapping-upload-issues   It is based on standard Android project with basic AppDynamics plugin setup ...
