Error using Jack compiler - app/build/intermediates/packaged/debug/classes.zip' is an invalid library

Question

I am getting these errors while using Jack compiler, but I don't understand what is the problem:

Error:Library reading phase: file '/Users/daniele.vitali/Development/android-studio/INTROCKAND/app/build/intermediates/packaged/debug/classes.zip' is an invalid library

I am using Android Studio 2.2 Preview 2 with the following dependencies:

ext {

    //Android config
    compileSdkVersion = 23
    buildToolsVersion = '24.0.0 rc4'
    minSdkVersion = 16
    targetSdkVersion = 23

    //Libraries
    supportLibrariesVersion = '24.0.0-beta1'
    lombokVersion = '1.16.8'
    guavaVersion = '19.0'
    gsonVersion = '2.6.2'
    butterKnifeVersion = '8.0.1'
    rxAndroidVersion = '1.2.0'
    firebaseVersion = '9.0.1'
    frescoVersion = '0.10.0'
    jUnitVersion = '4.12'
    mockitoVersion = '2.0.54-beta'
    hamcrestVersion = '2.0.0.0'
    daggerVersion = '2.4'
    googlePlayServicesVersion = '9.0.1'
    circularImageViewVersion = '2.0.0'
    bottomBarVersion = '1.3.4'
}

I am using also Gradle plugin 2.2.0 alpha 2 and com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0

Any help is highly appreciated.

Answer 1

I just noticed the 'AnnotationProcessing' in your dump, this may help if you aren't doing it already. I had to add the annotationProcessor in dependencies for Butterknife so Jack can deal with the library annotation processing.

dependencies {
    compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.0.1'
    annotationProcessor 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.0.1'
}

There would be one for dagger too...

dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.dagger:dagger:2.0'
    annotationProcessor 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.0'
}

Again, may not be your problem but it solved some issues for me when I started with Jack yesterday.
