@Archinamon when will publish Android-Gradle-Aspectj:4.3.0 for fix AGP 4.1.0 bug？you merge PR #128 but isn't published

[akaita]

I couldn't wait more for a version compatible with AGP4.1 so I ended up compiling the latest code and sending it to JCenter.
In case it's helpful to others: implementation 'com.akaita.android:android-gradle-aspectj:4.3.0'

[oakkitten]

in case someone needs this, here's a manual way of weaving aspectj on android. you will have to tweak the Transform a bit to suite your needs but it's gradle kotlin dsl, only depends on aspectjtools & aspectjrt, and even deals with some nasty windows issue of gradle not releasing some file locks

The official 4.3.0 was just released. Please hit that one https://bintray.com/archinamon/maven/android-gradle-aspectj/4.3.0

Any idea when it could get merged? It's been a blocker and my project couldn't use 4.3.0 at all. Thanks!

[jdvp]

@cyangibm For reference, that PR is merged in 4.3.0

AspectJ Plugin 4.3.0

@cyangibm ah yes, I actually had the exact same problem. That's actually a separate issue (#108) caused by a fix for #122 . I had commented on #122 mentioning that it had broken it but never heard back from the contributor that had made the change.

Personally, I decided to switch aspect plugins for my own projects as the resolution of issues 108 and 122 seem to be incompatible and IDK if someone will be able to figure it all out. However, if you are using more advanced features from this plugin, I don't know if switching plugins would work for you.
