Exception in Android App: Failed resolution of: Lorg/jacoco/agent/rt/internal_8ff85ea/Offline;

Issue

Problem

So I integrated Jetpack Compose dependencies in the application module. But the below exception is occurring whenever the app is started/launched. It's failing in the Application class.

My Setup

• IDE: Android Studio Arctic Fox - Stable | Patch 3
• Java JDK 11
• Kotlin 1.5.30
• Jetpack Compose 1.0.3
• Android Gradle Plugin 7.0.2
• Gradle Wrapper Version 7.0.2
• JaCoCo Version 0.8.7

build.gradle:

jacoco {
  toolVersion = "0.8.7"
}

android {
  ...
  compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
  }
  kotlinOptions {
    jvmTarget = "1.8"
  }
}

buildTypes {
  debug {
    testCoverageEnabled true
  }
}

Solution

The solution to the issue is very interesting.

Our project has remote submodules which were also using JaCoCo and in the main project we upgraded the Android Gradle Plugin version and not upgraded AGP in remote submodules then this issue was occurring. This is because those submodules also use the JaCoCo plugin.

Once we upgraded all submodules which were using the JaCoCo plugin and updated respective versions in the main application, this issue got resolved.

Earlier we were using AGP 4.2.2 and this issue was coming after upgrading AGP to 7.x.x.
