Gradle 7.1 not working completely with GPP, possibly flavor-related (error 'Querying the mapped value of property' etc)

[mikehardy]

Describe the bug

It appears that there is an incompatibility between Gradle 7.1 and GPP here, and publishing does not work, at least for flavor-related publishing

For other developers that run into this: Gradle 7.0.x should work fine - no need to be stuck

How To Reproduce

./gradlew test in this repo from current HEAD of main development branch after updating gradle (#971) is sufficient to reproduce

Versions

Please forgive me for skipping versions, I posted a PR so there was a crystal clear reproduction though, not trying to be difficult I promise :-)

Tasks executed

./gradlew test (or ./gradlew publishPlayReleaseApk in AnkiDroid)

Expected behavior

Successful tests pass, or successful publish

Additional context (if a crash, provide stack trace)

Stack trace provided in linked PR #971 - error message is:

Execution failed for task ':uploadReleasePrivateApk'. Querying the mapped value of property(org.gradle.api.file.Directory, property(org.gradle.api.file.Directory, property(org.gradle.api.file.Directory, map(org.gradle.api.file.Directory flatmap(provider(task 'packageRelease', class com.android.build.gradle.tasks.PackageApplication)) check-type())))) before task ':packageRelease' has completed is not supported

@SUPERCILEX I was 99% sure you'd know how to nail this one down as fast as you did, excellent! Thanks again for this plugin, I really appreciate it

@SUPERCILEX it seems that this issue was fixed 27/06 and the last release was done 23/06. Can we get a release with this fix ?

I'm hoping to make a release this weekend. In the meantime, you can always use the snapshot builds.
