Context

Android Gradle Plugin 8+ requires AppDynamic Android (adeum plugin) version 23.4.1 (and over). The Gradle Transformation API has been removed.

The version 23.4.1 of AppDynamic fails when combined with Android kapt. Apart from that, the new plugin seems to generate excessive warning logs.

Problems

1. Failure to build when disabledForBuildTypes is used in combination with kapt

app/build.gradle.kts:

plugins {
    // (...)
    id("com.google.dagger.hilt.android")
    kotlin("kapt")
    id("adeum")
}

adeum {
    disabledForBuildTypes = listOf("debug")
}
dependencies {
    implementation("com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.44.2")
    kapt("com.google.dagger:hilt-android-compiler:2.44.2")
//    (...)
}

Causes:

2. Excessive warnings

Hundreds of entries on the format:

WARNING: <projectpath>/AppDAgp8/app/build/intermediates/classes/release/ALL/classes.jar: D8: Expected stack map table for method with non-linear control flow.
WARNING: <projectpath>/AppDAgp8/app/build/intermediates/classes/release/ALL/classes.jar: D8: Expected stack map table for method with non-linear control flow.
WARNING: <projectpath>/AppDAgp8/app/build/intermediates/classes/release/ALL/classes.jar: D8: Expected stack map table for method with non-linear control flow.
(...)

How to see the error

Be sure that the disabledForBuildTypes is set to exclude debug builds. E.g.:

In file app/build.gradle.kts

adeum {
    disabledForBuildTypes = listOf("debug")
}

Run ./gradlew clean build

If the disabledForBuildTypes line is commented out, or if kapt/hilt is removed, the problem doesn't happen.
