net.bytebuddy:byte-buddy-android:+ issue

[Will5]

I could not compile my app today because the dependency net.bytebuddy:byte-buddy-android was updated to version 1.9.0, which was released over the weekend. This caused the following error:

Android issues: (1 error)
../../.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/net.bytebuddy/byte-buddy/1.9.0/../byte-buddy-1.9.0.jar 
Illegal class file: Class module-info is missing a super type.
Java compiler: (4 errors)
com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveBuilderException: Failed to process ../../.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/net.bytebuddy/byte-buddy/1.9.0/../byte-buddy-1.9.0.jar 
com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveBuilderException: Error while dexing.
com.android.tools.r8.CompilationFailedException: Compilation failed to complete
com.android.tools.r8.utils.AbortException

I resolved it by adding implementation 'net.bytebuddy:byte-buddy-android:1.8.22', the previous version, to our list of dependencies in our build.gradle. After discovering other issues, #211 and #249, I dug into the pom files and discovered that the source was Leanplum-Android-SDK:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>net.bytebuddy</groupId>
      <artifactId>byte-buddy-android</artifactId>
      <version>[1.6.2,2.+[</version>
    </dependency>

Can you set the limit to < 1.9.0?

I get the same error when I am trying to add com.leanplum:leanplum-uieditor:4.1.1 to our project. What can I do to resolve it? I am trying to evaluate the Leanplum service but this is a show stopper.

Talked to the Leanplum support and for the new versions of leanplum the com.leanplum:leanplum-uieditor module isn't required anymore and should not be used.
