After upgrading WorkManager from 2.2.0 to 2.3.4, I get a new ObsoleteLintCustomCheck lint warning. If I understand the warning message right, then they added a new lint check that uses an old API version? Google doesn't show anything useful related to WorkManagerIssueRegistry though.
Anyone ran into this issue before or has an idea how to fix this?
In gradle:
implementation "androidx.work:work-runtime-ktx:2.3.4"
testImplementation "androidx.work:work-testing:2.3.4"
Lint found an issue registry (`androidx.work.lint.WorkManagerIssueRegistry`) which is older than
the current API level; these checks may not work correctly. Recompile the checks against the
latest version. Custom check API version is 3 (3.3), current lint API level is 6 (3.6+)
Lint can be extended with "custom checks": additional checks implemented by
developers and libraries to for example enforce specific API usages required by a library or a
company coding style guideline. The Lint APIs are not yet stable, so these checks may either
cause a performance degradation, or stop working, or provide wrong results. This warning flags
custom lint checks that are found to be using obsolete APIs and will need to be updated to run
in the current lint environment. It may also flag issues found to be using a **newer** version
of the API, meaning that you need to use a newer version of lint (or Android Studio or Gradle
plugin etc) to work with these checks.
You can ignore this. We fixed this in WorkManager 2.4.x. Sorry about the confusion.
