Having same issue ! So instant run is not compatible with shrinkResources
1) if use Android Studio 2.2
shrinkResources false
buildTypes { release { signingConfig signingConfigs.release minifyEnabled false shrinkResources false zipAlignEnabled true debuggable false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' }}
2) if use Android Studio 2.0
open setting
now run your project
If you're experiencing this issue when building a release
build, keep in mind that Android Plugin for Gradle 2.2.0
(and above) seems to have a bug with shrinkResources
.
Downgrade gradle
to 2.1.3
for a temporary solution:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.3'
EDIT:
I reported this issue to wojtek.kalicinski (Android Developer Advocate at Google).
As it turns out, shrinkResources
works only if there is minifyEnabled
set to true
. 2.1.3
version of Android Plugin was just ignoring the issue (and failing to shrinkResources
silently). 2.2.0+
is letting you know that there is something wrong with an error (which itself isn't really informative). Google might introduce a better error message for this kind of scenarios in the future.
Here's the twitter conversation:
Probably you are shrinking the resources while avoiding minifying:
minifyEnabled falseshrinkResources true
If you want to shrink the resources, you have to enable minifying:
minifyEnabled trueshrinkResources true
Older versions of Build Tools were ignoring this issue, but it started throwing compilation issues on Build Tools 2.2.3
