API 'BaseVariant.getApplicationIdTextResource' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'VariantProperties.applicationId'

Question

When building gradle I'm getting this message:

API 'BaseVariant.getApplicationIdTextResource' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'VariantProperties.applicationId'

I'm using Android Studio 4.1 Canary 10 and gradle:4.1.0-alpha10

Answer 1

It seems like the Navigation Safe Args plugin uses getApplicationIdTextResource(), so it is most likely that the error message is caused by your usage of that plugin.

You'd want to star the existing issue to ask the Safe Args plugin to use the new replacement API.

Answer 2

Changing to androidx.navigation:navigation-*:2.4.0-alpha02 as described here allowed a build of my app under Arctic Fox without getting the getApplicationIdTestResource warning

From the application build.gradle file:

def nav_version = "2.4.0-alpha02"
classpath "androidx.navigation:navigation-safe-args-gradle-plugin:$nav_version"

And in the build.gradle file:

def nav_version = "2.4.0-alpha02"
implementation "androidx.navigation:navigation-fragment:$nav_version"
implementation "androidx.navigation:navigation-ui:$nav_version"
androidTestImplementation "androidx.navigation:navigation-testing:$nav_version"

Answer 3

few days i see the same issue. Then i go to -> build.gradle file

My Dependencies before update

check the dependencies

I update the dependencies google services to 4.3.4

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.1'
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.4'


    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
}

After update

Now its working fine.
