Just upgraded to the latest Gradle build and am getting the following warning:
WARNING: API 'variant.getExternalNativeBuildTasks()' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'variant.getExternalNativeBuildProviders()'.
It will be removed at the end of 2019.
I know it's caused by the fabric plugin because removing apply plugin: 'io.fabric' from my app's build.gradle file removes the error when syncing.
Anyone know when fabric will update their plugin to conform to the new Gradle standard or how to manually change the code? I see exactly the problem, but don't know how or if I can change that line of code within fabric myself.
I don't think it's a functional problem yet, but really annoying to see each time I sync the gradle file.
This has been fixed in the 1.28.0 release of the gradle plugin
Users should have this in their top-level build.gradle:
buildscript {
repositories {
// ... repositories, etc. ...
}
dependencies {
// ...other dependencies ...
classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.28.0'
}
}
