Update to gradle v4.1 ?

[thefzsalam]

Android studio recommends to update gradle version.

To take advantage of all the latest features (such as Instant Run), improvements and security fixes, we strongly recommend that you update the Android Gradle plugin to version 3.0.1 and Gradle to version 4.1. You can learn more about this version of the plugin from the release notes.

I want to contribute to this project. Shall I continue with or without updating gradle for this project?

If you use Android Studio be aware that Gradle plugin 3.0.1 / gradle 4.1 require Android studio 3.

I spent half last night reverting to Android Studio 2.2.2 for the same reasons described here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47526000/how-to-fix-android-studio-3-0-logcat-log-print-delay-2-5-mins :

I am currently using gradle plugin 2.3.3 and gradle 3.5 with AS 2.2.2 and this supports Instant Run.

I have not had time to test IR yet.

Yes, I use AS 3.0.1. Although, I have not yet run in to the issue yet. So, I'm continuing without updating gradle.

You can upgrade and work locally with that but then just not gid add'ing the files. That's what I do. It's rather annoying that Android Studio insists so much on upgrading.

The project builds fine in Android Studio v3.0.1. But when I type ./gradlew, the following error appears:

Parallel execution is an incubating feature.

Just noticed that I had enabled the following settings:

Local gradle version:

It builds fine when using the os supplied gradle (v4.5.1). It fails building with gradlew.
