Android: gradle wrapper 7.2 yields 'execution optimizations disabled' warning

• Review the documentation: https://github.com/oblador/react-native-vector-icons

Environment

• macOS 12.1
• RN 0.67.0
• RNVI 9.0.0

Description

I have added react-native-vector-icons to my React Native project using RN 0.67. I am using Gradle wrapper 7.3.3 but the behaviour is the same for 7.2.

When running npx react-native run-android --variant debug I see the following in the terminal:

> Task :app:compressDebugAssets
Execution optimizations have been disabled for task ':app:compressDebugAssets' to ensure correctness due to the following reasons:
  - Gradle detected a problem with the following location: '/Users/studiozeffa/Code/rn-project/android/app/build/intermediates/merged_assets/debug/out'. Reason: Task ':app:compressDebugAssets' uses this output of task ':app:copyDebugReactNativeVectorIconFonts' without declaring an explicit or implicit dependency. This can lead to incorrect results being produced, depending on what order the tasks are executed. Please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/7.3.3/userguide/validation_problems.html#implicit_dependency for more details about this problem.

The same warning is repeated for other gradle tasks too.

This is just a warning - the app still compiles and builds ok

Reproducible Demo

• Create a new RN project using RN 0.67 (this is important as it uses the latest Gradle plugin version)
• Add RNVI v9.0.0
• Run npx react-native run-android --variant debug

Dirty workaround

I’ve added the following to fonts.gradle which removes the warning, but I am sure there is a better way to do this.

def compressAssetsTask = tasks.findByName("compress${targetName}Assets")
compressAssetsTask.dependsOn(currentFontCopyTask)

def processMainManifestTask = tasks.findByName("process${targetName}MainManifest")
processMainManifestTask.dependsOn(currentFontCopyTask)

def processManifestTask = tasks.findByName("process${targetName}Manifest")
processManifestTask.dependsOn(currentFontCopyTask)

def processManifestForPackageTask = tasks.findByName("process${targetName}ManifestForPackage")
processManifestForPackageTask.dependsOn(currentFontCopyTask)

def mergeJavaResourceTask = tasks.findByName("merge${targetName}JavaResource")
mergeJavaResourceTask.dependsOn(currentFontCopyTask)

def mergeExtDexTask = tasks.findByName("mergeExtDex${targetName}")
mergeExtDexTask.dependsOn(currentFontCopyTask)

def mergeNativeLibsTask = tasks.findByName("merge${targetName}NativeLibs")
mergeNativeLibsTask.dependsOn(currentFontCopyTask)

def mergeResourcesTask = tasks.findByName("merge${targetName}Resources")
mergeResourcesTask.dependsOn(currentFontCopyTask)

def stripDebugSymbolsTask = tasks.findByName("strip${targetName}DebugSymbols")
stripDebugSymbolsTask.dependsOn(currentFontCopyTask)

I’m having this issue as well.
