Failed to transform 'com.android.tools.build\builder\3.1.4\...\builder-3.1.4.jar' using Jetifier. Reason: duplicate entry: module-info.class.

I am trying to migrate my current project to an instant apps base feature with base and installed modules (at the momento no instant module) and I am getting this error:

:base:kaptGenerateStubsReleaseKotlin
ERROR: [TAG] Failed to resolve variable '${animal.sniffer.version}'

(Run with --stacktrace for more details.) To disable Jetifier, set android.enableJetifier=false in your gradle.properties file.

I am using Android SDK 28, AndroidX and Butterknife-9.0.0-rc2

This is my dependency tree:

The version builder:3.1.4 is incompatible with androidx, but butterknife 9.0.0-rc2 is already compatible with AndroidX, right?

My project compiles correctly with androidX and 9.0.0-rc2 without using plugin apply plugin: 'com.android.feature'

My root build.gradle file:

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.71'
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
        classpath 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-gradle-plugin:9.0.0-rc2'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

My base feature module build.gradle file:

The Gradle plugin should be added to the buildscript classpath and not the app's implementation config. Please see the readme for a copy/paste example.

[jdelga]

Thank you Jake, but I had it inside buildscript. I have edited the description with my full root build.gradle file. Previously I had only added part of it.

Actually, I can import R2 in my files, but it won't compile. I am still having the issue

[jdelga]

The com.android.tools.build supports androidX only starting in version 3.2.0. I think that the butterknife-gradle-plugin should update its dependency at least to 3.2.0 or the latest version which is 3.2.1

[JakeWharton]

You shouldn't rely on the transitive dependency of our compiler for providing the Android Gradle plugin so our version shouldn't matter

[jdelga]

The fact is that the only place I have a dependency on builder:3.1.4 is internally butterknife.
