`IidCompatibilityCheckFailure` lint check fails with a null pointer exception (NPE)...

See original GitHub issue

IidCompatibilityCheckFailure lint check fails with a null pointer exception (NPE)…

Using bom 25.4.1 and Iid 20.2.0

The check failed to run as it encountered unknown failure. This is most likely caused by a new version of Android Gradle Plugin that this check does not support. Please make sure your build does not depend on firebase-iid version earlier than 20.1.1 as it will cause issues.

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe your environment

Android gradle plugin 4.0.0
Firebase Component: bom 25.4.1 and Iid 20.2.0

[REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

Steps to reproduce:

Run lintRelease

Seems to be related to dagger 2.28, or Google places SDK 2.3.0 or androidtimesquare lib 1.7.10

Hi Everyone.

Sorry for the delayed response. Yes, its a broken lint check caused by the reflection call in Firebase-Installations library resulting in this issue. I was figuring out if its safe to remove the lint check from the firebase-installations library.

We have decided on removing the lint check from Firebase Installations library by mid November. Since, this lint check failure is a weak warning, anyone getting this error please feel free to ignore it if your app depends on firebase-iid version i.e greater than 20.1.1

I will keep this issue open till we rollout the lint removal.

Thanks, Ankita

I might be seeing the same thing with a more descriptive error with Gradle 6.5.1 and Android Gradle Plugin 4.2.0-alpha04:

Check failed with exception: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: com.android.tools.lint.detector.api.LintModelModuleProject.getGradleProjectModel()
