Hello, Are there any updates regarding the fix? Because I think it blocks all Android apps using AppD plugin from using up-to-date development tools, because of not ability to switch to latest Android Gradle plugin Regards, Nick

Hi Aboubacar, Do we know timelines for this, because this issue is blocking us from using latest dev tools and soon will be a blocker for our development, because we have other plugins which we must use already switched to latest AGP version? Regards, Nick

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 @Tony.Zhang I was rather asking if the workaround with assigning some random value to "buildID" is safe to use, because this is the only way I found to make the latest versions of AD working. For instance, adding something like this to the script: ext.buildID = "AppDynamics workaround value"

Hi @Tony.Zhang, Is there any solution for the issue or confirmation that the workaround is safe to use until it is fixed?

Just checked again.. Indeed, there are some cases when it is working. # For instance, when I run build in terminal: ``` ./gradlew --stop // to make sure no other Gradle daemons which could affect the build ./gradlew clean ./gradlew assembleDebug ``` It builds fine by some reason. # When I try to build it from Android Studio (4.2.1) by clicking Build action ("Make Project"), it can build first time, but when I try to Run project on device ("Run app" action) after this, it fails and then failing all the time for both Build and Run actions. So I am just wondering if this "buildID" somehow cached inside plugin and this cache becoming broken between builds to different Gradle daemons.

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

Looks like the issue is fixed in `20.5.0` - after updating to this version for us the issue is gone

Probably also related or same issues as here: https://community.appdynamics.com/t5/End-User-Monitoring-EUM/AppDynamic-EUM-setup-for-Android-Cordova-project/m-p/38864/highlight/false#M1225

Have the same version on our native Android project (not Cordova) too Android plugin: 3.6.3 AppDynamics: 5.2.1552 and 20.4.0 The same project setup works if Android plugin downgraded to 3.5.X version The same project setup works with Android plugin 3.6.X and removed AppDynamics Do you guys have any timelines for fixing the issue or reference to some open bug to track its progress? It is a bit disappointing that this plugin basically blocks upgrading projects using AppDynamics to use latest Android tools. In our organization we have relatively big Android team and no one able to use latest tools already for 2 months because of the issue without removing AppDynamics plugin. I just hope you understand that the issue is critical and probably such issues should be resolved much faster, because using outdated tools for few months (Android plugin in this case) affects teams productivity and have cost, so at some point teams will have to switch to some other tool
