Duplicate resources datadog.buildId error when upgrading to AGP 8.4

[eury-fsl]

Describe What Happened:

Datadog has been working normally for several app versions. When upgrading the project to use the Android Gradle Plugin 8.4.0 and gradle 8.6 I get a Duplicated Resource error. Here's the stack trace:

> Task :app:mergeDebugAssets FAILED

Steps to reproduce the issue:

Upgrade gradle to 8.6 and the Android Gradle Plugin to 8.4.

Describe what you expected:

My app to run normally as it has happened in previous AGP and gradle updates.

Additional context

• Datadog version: 2.9.0
  • Android Build Tools version: 8.4.0
  • Gradle version: 8.6
  • OS version:
  • Plugin version:
  • Proguard configuration:
  • Other Gradle Plugins:

Hello @eury-fsl!

We have similar issue opened already https://github.com/DataDog/dd-sdk-android-gradle-plugin/issues/242, but there it happens for the React Native application. So I'm curious if you are using React Native or not in your case as well?

Also can you please post the AGP version where things were working normally? I believe you've used Datadog Gradle Plugin 1.13 there as well?

[eury-fsl]

@0xnm In my case it is a native app. It was working normally with AGP 8.3.2, Yeah, I'm using datadog plugin 1.13.1. It was working fine with that plugin version with the previous AGP version.

[0xnm]

Thanks for a quick confirmation! Just to double-check that I got it properly: you were using datadog plugin 1.13.1 with AGP 8.3.2 and it was working fine there, but 1.13.1 gives an error when used with AGP 8.4.0?

[eury-fsl]

That's correct @0xnm

[AlanMTuring]

Same issue here. We've been on datadog plugin 1.11.0 and AGP 8.4.0 and tried upgrading to 1.13.1 and got the same Duplicate resources error. Upgrading to 1.12.0 didn't give us the issue, so that's where we are now.

[jamesbluecrow]

Same for us. Downgrading datadog plugin to 1.12.0 seems to do the trick for now.

It seems datadog plugin 1.13.0 is the one that starts breaking with AGP 8.4.0

[eury-fsl]

Any update here @0xnm ?

[0xnm]

@eury-fsl I'm not able to reproduce the issue, so I need an additional info:

• Can you please share your build types / flavors configuration? By looking at the error it seems that you have only debug and release build types and there are no flavors configured?
• Are you using build cache or configuration cache?
• Does this error happen only in IDE (I see some com.android.ide.common references in the stacktrace) or it happens also if you run the build from command line?
• Does it happen for the clean build or only for the incremental builds?

[0xnm]

I was able to reproduce the issue and after the investigation I think it is due to the change related to the legacy Variant API and new Variant API interop introduced in AGP 8.4.0, so I opened a bug with investigation results.

I don't know if it is a regression or an intended change, but anyway for us the only solution will be to migrate to the new Variant API in our plugin, we will try to do it asap since there is no an easy workaround.

[0xnm]

This should be fixed in 1.14.0 release, please try it and let us know if issue is not reproducible anymore in your setup.

[0xnm]

I believe the issue is solved now, closing the issue.
