From configuring my own projects that use this plugin it appears to work fine with Gradle 6 unless you happen to use the Android Gradle plugin too, in which case I am getting the following exception:

• What went wrong:
  A problem occurred configuring project ':orbit-android'.

Could not create an instance of type com.novoda.release.internal.compat.gradle5_3.AndroidSoftwareComponentCompat_Gradle_5_3.
org/gradle/api/internal/java/usagecontext/LazyConfigurationUsageContext

Cause in stack trace is as follows:

@mattmook thanks for the context, thanks for taking the time to make a better job than the OP.

The issue is that this plugin is and always will be a little brittle as long we keep using internal Gradle APIs in order to workaround the lack of support from the Android Gradle Plugin. This means that when something break we need to provide a new compat layer for that version of Gradle (see #283, #281, #280, etc).
Usually this is not a very complicated task, but - as one of the maintainers - at the moment I can't guarantee when this will be done, and I would encourage anyone who wants to give a try to issue a PR and start a conversation.

For now the solution is to stick to Gradle v5.x. The current latest v5.x version is v5.6.4, which works for and Android library project of mine with novoda/bintray-release. Find the latest v5.x release here.

[marandaneto]

has anybody tried to make it compat. yet?

[marandaneto]

It seems that Gradle 6.X doesn't have the class LazyConfigurationUsageContext anymore and I could not trace if its renamed, deleted or moved somewhere else.

[marandaneto]

I've made a quick draft, tests are happy.

I don't rely on the new features of Gradle 6.x, which would be the right approach.
This would require a bit more work and brand new tests and I don't have much available time right now.

Let's see what the admins say :)

With the release of Android Studio 4.0 in stable it has become a very important issue.
The new android gradle build version is 4.0.0 which requires gradle version 6.1.1

I have modified some codes on the basis of this library to support Gradle 6.0+ and Android Gradle Plugin 4.0+, and then released a brand new library, you can try to see if it can solve your problem, https://github.com/panpf/bintray-publish

Any news on this?

Anyone working on this still and any updates to give? Would like to upgrade my Gradle to the newest version but Braintree is the only thing blocking us here.

i have not downgraded the gradle version 6.1.1 But what i did is that:

I removed these lines from build.gradle file
apply plugin: 'com.novoda.bintray-release' &
classpath 'com.novoda:bintray-release:0.9.1'

The Issue just gone like Boom !!

I think this Bintray Dependencies just conflicting behind the scene.
