Android Studio 3.2.0 sync error: Failed to transform android.jar

[jp1017]

As 3.2.0 sync error with api27 in this repo:

Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:androidApis'.
Failed to transform file 'android.jar' to match attributes {artifactType=android-mockable-jar, returnDefaultValues=false} using transform MockableJarTransform

Sync success with api28

I have this issue too. It seems to be some sort of new verification in Gradle 3.2.0.

I changed my classpath back to 3.1.4 and it syncs fine. I wonder if there's a new Gradle setting to disable this or if we're out of luck.

The old version is ok! Gradle 3.2.0 is error in Sync.

Even I am facing a compilation issue with Android Plugin version 3.2.0 for latest Android Studio which forces Gradle version 4.6. It gives some translation issue with the SDK android.jar. Awaiting android.jar for API version 28

[zacharee]

You can keep using 4.6. Just change the classpath from 3.2.0 to 3.1.4.

I think the change responsible for this issue is this one or something related to it:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/tools/base/+/acf0ab389c444a85371b897d8b2c81d96d31b988

Maybe it'll help figuring out how to workaround this

I have managed to sync with android gradle plugin 3.2.1, 3.3 RC and 3.4 alpha with android.jar assembled from .class files built from AOSP sources.
When adding any .class from device's framework files to android.jar it fails to sync.
You can check which classes fail with MockableJarGenerator from AOSP. It fails on line 134(classNode.accept method) on those classes that come from device's framework. You can add try/catch block and print all the class names that fail if you want.
If you want to see how this class is used you can check this project.

Of course it won't help with the issue of blacklisted APIs with the new Google policy.

Here's android.jar for API level 28, which I use.

Thanks. You make it.

Gradle 4.10.3, gradle plugin: 3.2.1, compile successful, great job. 👍 😄

Hey guys, it does not work with Gradle >= 3.2 and SDK 27, still got the error :/

However, it is working with Gradle v3.1.4

[henrichg]

NastuzziSamy this is OK.
For compile SDK 27 is required gradle plugin 3.1.4.
For compile SDK 28 is required gradle plugin 3.2.x.
