Is it a multimodule project?

[Jeff11]

It's only one module.

[Chesteer89]

Same issue here. One module, update from 5.3.1 to 5.4.0

Error:Cannot change dependencies of configuration ':app:api' after it has been included in dependency resolution.

I tried with a toy project using your Gradle configuration but couldn't reproduce the issue (I used Gradle 4.6 since you're using com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0-beta04).

Can you send an example reproducing the issue?

[Chesteer89]

It's all about

androidExtensions {
experimental = true
}

With experimental disabled everything works fine, when you enable it you'll see build error.

[nhachicha]

@Chesteer89 thx I was able to reproduce the issue, it looks related to the Realm Gradle Plugin changes introduced in https://github.com/realm/realm-java/pull/6025/files

As a workaround, you can apply Realm manually https://realm.io/docs/java/latest#how-do-i-customize-dependecies-defined-by-the-realm-gradle-plugin it should work.

@cmelchior can you have a look at this when you have time, I'm suspecting this https://github.com/realm/realm-java/pull/6025/files#diff-fbc37097ca151e18a6db623e59ebdba8R78 to be the root cause (it is executed on configuration phase & modify the dependencies, which is the closest thing related to the error message from Gradle)

[Chesteer89]

@nhachicha thanks, it works now :+1:

[eygraber]

It's happening for me on a multi module build.

Similar issue here.

[Jeff11]

@nhachicha I have androidExtensions {experimental = true} in the project module so applying Realm manually did the trick, thanks. 👍

[cmelchior]

@Jeff11 @eygraber A fix for this has been released in 5.5.0-SNAPSHOT https://github.com/realm/realm-java#using-snapshots Can you verify this fixes your builds?

[Jeff11]

5.5.0-SNAPSHOT is working 👍

[cmelchior]

A fix was released in 5.4.1
