Can't build project when exclude bcprov-jdk15to18 library

[ilya-savinkov]

Description

I excluded bcprov-jdk15to18 library, because I had duplicated classes between bcprov-jdk15to18 and bcprov-jdk18on libraries in my project. After that I can't make release build, because it is failed with exception from proguard.

Steps to Reproduce

1) Include library with bcprov-jdk15to18 dependency like stripe.

implementation("com.stripe:stripe-android:20.39.0")

2) Inclide library with bcprov-jdk18on dependency like sumsub.

implementation("com.sumsub.sns:idensic-mobile-sdk:1.29.0")

3) Exclude bcprov-jdk15to18 library

android {
    configurations {
        all {
            exclude(group = "org.bouncycastle", module = "bcprov-jdk15to18")
        }
    }
}

4) Make release build with R8

Expected Behavior

You can make release build with R8

Your Environment

Newrelic version is 7.3.0

@ilya-savinkov Thank you for your submission. We are currently researching this issue, and trying to get a patch out as soon as possible. The crux of the problem is manifest merging during instrumentation.

@ilya-savinkov Have you verified that, with this Gradle configuration exclusion, the build is successful without the NR agent?

[ilya-savinkov]

@cthomas-newrelic Sure, if I remove newrelic plugin, build is built successfully

I'm also having this issue when using NR version 7.2.1 or higher, version 7.2.0 still works.

My problem is with the "org.bouncycastle:bcpkix-jdk15on" dependency.

Caused by: [CIRCULAR REFERENCE: com.android.tools.r8.internal.vc: Invalid empty classfile]

I can build the project when using this dependency version:

implementation 'org.bouncycastle:bcpkix-jdk15on:1.52'

Any version from this lib different from 1.52 breaks the build with NR.

@ilya-savinkov If you are comfortable building the agent, we have a branch that should address this issue.
