org.json dependency produces warnings when compiling dependent app

[danhawkes]

ACRA has a compile-scope dependency on org.json:json, which causes warnings as it clashes with the version that's built into Android.

Builds with the android gradle plugin produce warnings like this:

Warning:Dependency org.json:json:20080701 is ignored for debug as it may be conflicting with the internal version provided by Android.

I think the fix is just to change the dependency's scope to 'provided':

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.json</groupId>
  <artifactId>json</artifactId>
  <version>20080701</version> 
  <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

In the interim, you can exclude it in your app's build.gradle:

compile('ch.acra:acra:4.5.0') {
    exclude group: 'org.json'
}
