Hiii, This report points to work done in Week 9 [July 26 -Aug 1].
Here's a quick update: >> Cloned upstream Gradle 4.7 and checked that it builds the kotlin 1.3.30 without any errors? Yes, which makes it a problem in downstream only. >> The proguard warning was fixed by andrewsh (Thank you for your help) [1] >> Because of all the current blockers and issues I had a meeting with fellow project members. >> Fixed ASM Opcodes.API_VERSION error in the kotlin-gradle-plugin >> In a nutshell, The error is again the result of a deadlock! The Gradle version to compile the very our kotlin-gradle-plugin requires is 4.7 or above. I tried to work on as many options we are left with the kotlin-gradle-plugin old src which was compatible with 4.4.1. I tested for 1.2.3, 1.2.4, and 1.2.7 they were the older version. But it conflicted with the java version! Weirdly The kotlin-gradle-plugin src needs Class 55 i.e. Java 11 while the kotlin src needs Java 8. >> As pointed. I was stuck on the Android data binding error, which turns out that it was failing because android-platform-frameworks-data-binding (one of kotlin build-deps wasn't compatible with Java 8), it was fixed, andrewsh uploaded the changes. >> But, I guess the best fix is to backport those changes from the newer Gradle. Apart from Work Stuff: >> Later that week, I passed my second evaluation! <3 >> The Android BoF for Debconf got selected!
