The apktool and dex2jar tasks should fail if for whatever reason no output is produced. This would stop gradle from caching those "results" as valid, if they are ever produced. I observed one instance (that I was not able to reproduce later) in which gradle cached a success of the dex2jar task as producing no output, and a manual reset of the gradle task result cache was required to fix the issue.
