Generated icon no longer used when building with com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.3.0-rc01
After upgrading com.android.tools.build:gradle from 7.3.0-beta05 to 7.3.0-rc01, the easylauncher icons are nog longer used. They are still being generated in the build/generated/easylauncher folder and Android Studio still renders them as the actual launcher icon, but after building and deploying the app, the undecorated base icon is shown.
I'd be surprised that this is a bug in Easylauncher, probably Google broke something in version 7.3.0-rc01 of the Android Build tools.
Oh, thanks for letting me know! I only caught the plugin is completely broken on 7.4.0-alpha10 and reported it here: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/244063664
It seems like AGP changed its behavior in 7.3.0 too, but it fails silently there. I'll investigate and post an update on the issuetracker
Hello guys! Any update here? Android Studio Dolphin released with AGP 7.3.0 and generated icons are not used when building the app 😢
Hi, @mateuszkwiecinski any news on this issue ? Or any functional workaround/alternatives ?
I can confirm that upgrading to com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.4.0-beta02 and setting android.disableResourceValidation=true in gradle.properties does solve/workaround the issue.
I can't confirm the workaround. The badge is still not showing up for me. I tried as well with
com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.4.0-beta02
android.disableResourceValidation=true
and AndroidStudio Electric Eel to make the gradle version 7.4.0 work.
@litrik is there anything else you changed?

Those were indeed the only changes I did to get it working with 7.4.0-beta02 (in Electric Eel and after a good Gradle sync, clean and rebuild of the project).
I have the same issue as reported above. Sticking to 7.2.2 for a little while longer until hopefully the issue is resolved somehow.
@HashirLabs @poorpeschino, please read the whole thread. There is a reason for the issue and a couple of proposed solutions. Particullary, https://github.com/usefulness/easylauncher-gradle-plugin/issues/349#issuecomment-1239054798, https://github.com/usefulness/easylauncher-gradle-plugin/issues/349#issuecomment-1274275555 and https://github.com/usefulness/easylauncher-gradle-plugin/issues/349#issuecomment-1277068235.
I'll share an update: I just released v6.0.0 which helps to work around the issue (thanks to the great contribution of @kkris).
It's possible 6.0.0 will work out of the box for you, but if you start observing a "Error: Duplicate resources." error, you can follow the workaround mentioned on AGP issue page and add android.disableResourceValidation=true to gradle.properties. This should make the plugin work again 🎉
If my observations are correct, AGP starting from 8.0 won't need the android.disableResourceValidation=true workaround.
We have the icons in a theme module. That module also includes the easylauncher plugin. After upgrading, we no longer are seeing the generated icon. We can see it in the build folder but the application module is not able to reference it. I looked at samples to see if we are missing something.
Based on https://github.com/usefulness/easylauncher-gradle-plugin/blob/master/sample/gradle.properties, we added the following to our project. Unfortunately it also made no difference.
android.disableResourceValidation=true
android.nonTransitiveRClass=true
I am using AGP 7.4.1 and easy launcher 6.1.0. But still generated icons are not being used at the time of deployment. Issue still exist. Can we reopen this issue.
