Gradle plugin to fix Android caching problems

Android cache fix Gradle plugin

Some Android plugin versions have issues with Gradle's build cache feature. When applied to an Android project this plugin applies workarounds for these issues based on the Android plugin and Gradle versions.

• Supported Android versions: 3.0.0, 3.0.1, 3.1.0, 3.1.1, 3.1.2, 3.1.3, 3.1.4

Note: With Android 3.2.x the cache-fix plugin is not required.
