Thanks for the reproducer. Will check this out! Can I ask for your Android Studio version?

Alright, I can reproduce with

It's working fine with Android Studio Girafe 2022.3.1 Canary 7 and IntelliJ 2023.1 EAP so I'm going to assume this will fix itself automatically in a few months.

apollo-gradle-plugin is the relocated jar so looks like there's something in the relocation that Android Studio didn't like. If it's too much of an issue for you and you can't switch to a Canary version, you can use apollo-gradle-plugin-external and plugin id com.apollographql.apollo3.external that has external bundling. Let me know if you see anything we can do, if not I'll close this issue.

The problem has been reproduced since version 3.0.0 and Android Studio of those versions (a year and a half ago). All this time the problem did not disappear and decided to highlight it.

At the moment, this is not a big problem, but it really hinders any changes in the future (you have to write blindly).

But now working through apollo-gradle-plugin-external has helped me - this is already a solution that helps in the moment, thank you!

If the problem disappears in future versions of Android Studio, it will be cool, then you can close the issue.

Marking this one as blocked. Let's try again when Flamingo goes stable.

Just tried with Studio Flamingo | 2022.2.1 Patch 2 and it's still happening :(. But Android Studio Hedgehog | 2023.1.1 Canary 9 is working. So looks like we'll have to wait for Giraffe to go stable.

Working as of Android Studio Koala | 2024.1.1 Patch 1
