Splunk Mint Gradle plugin error

[nak5ive]

The splunk mint gradle plugin for Android (v 5.2.5) is far enough behind the current Minimum gradle versions for Android Studio that it can't be used. Gradle sync fails with a generic error "Cause: javacTask".

And why not host the plugin in jCenter and take advantage of easy version upgrades instead of requiring manual download?

Environment:
Android Studio 3.4
Gradle 5.2
Android Gradle Plugin 3.4.0
Splunk Mint Plugin 5.2.5

Creating a brand new Android Project, and simply including the Splunk Mint gradle plugin produces the following error during Gradle sync...

[ibmmbaraka]

any luck with this issue?

[nak5ive]

No luck and no response.

[vkrai]

Still no resolution on the issue?

[ibmmbaraka]

I tried without the line apply plugin and added multidex and it worked

[nak5ive]

If you remove apply plugin, then you are not using the plugin. lol
and multidex has nothing to do with gradle sync.

[ibmmbaraka]

I know, I am not sure what the plugin should do at this moment, at least got the SDK to work for now I guess.
