@nirav-tukadiya this looks odd! Could you try a fresh build, ensuring no packages/caches are corrupt?

Something like this should be able to achieve this:

./gradlew --refresh-dependencies --no-daemon --no-build-cache --rerun-tasks assembleRelease

[nirav-tukadiya]

@markushi Fresh run with below command works. What do you think could have corrupted the cache?

FYI, This was only happening for 7.3.0 and we have migrated to 7.4.0 but would like to understand in detail so that we could fix the root cause and migrating latest version may not be feasible all the time and also, caching tasks is important is we build 4 different flavors and would like to save time on build.

the root cause is that we don't publish the .module files yet, (see issue), and in your case gradle (or some plugin) did not check for its presence and tried to parse a non-existent file, hence it failed. Not sure what exactly caused them to think there's a module metadata file when it's not present, but yeah we should fix it.

thanks for clarification. @romtsn
