Build failing with `NoSuchMethodError: ...VariantManager.getVariantScopes()Ljava/util/List` when using Android Gradle Plugin 4.1.0

Upon applying plugin, I’m getting the following error when building:

Windows 10; Gradle 6.3…6.7; Android Gradle Plugin 4.1.0. AGP 4.0.+ works.

@Archinamon when will publish Android-Gradle-Aspectj:4.3.0 for fix AGP 4.1.0 bug？you merge PR #128 but isn’t published

in case someone needs this, here’s a manual way of weaving aspectj on android. you will have to tweak the Transform a bit to suite your needs but it’s gradle kotlin dsl, only depends on aspectjtools & aspectjrt, and even deals with some nasty windows issue of gradle not releasing some file locks
