Unable to compile under Android Studio 3.0 Canary 1

Question

I attempt to compile my Android project under AS 3.0 Canary 1 (it works fine on AS 2.3.2 stable version) but failed with the following error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:packageInstantRunResourcesUatGoogleDebug'.
> com.google.common.util.concurrent.MoreExecutors.directExecutor()Ljava/util/concurrent/Executor;

* Try:
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':app:packageInstantRunResourcesUatGoogleDebug'.

same here, I think it's guava and firebase versioning related issue here — Mohamed ALOUANE, May 23 '17 at 01:37

Firebase team have suggested to use this as a fix :

classpath ('com.google.firebase:firebase-plugins:1.1.0') {
    exclude group: 'com.google.guava', module: 'guava-jdk5'
}

EDIT: Including the new updated package will auto-exclude the guava-jdk5 package.

classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-plugins:1.1.1'

Could you please post the source as well? Where did you get the answer from firebase team? – chubao May 27 '17 at 15:52
This seemed to be the issue! Thanks! I would also like to know where you get your information? Did you get in contact with the Firebase guys directly or could you provide a source? @mohamed-alouane – Boris May 30 '17 at 08:50

I just upgraded to com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0-alpha4 and saw this error. Oh my goodness, scratched my head for 2 hours til found this...Who on earth would know how to fix that by doing this........... – Arst Jun 25 '17 at 23:44

The new version will automatically exclude the guava package: `classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-plugins:1.1.1'` – Brandon Aug 03 '17 at 13:40

I have the exact same problem, when I created a new project, and added the lines one by one.

The line that was causing the problem is

classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-plugins:1.1.0'

that was in the project build.gradle file. Removing that line fixes the issue.

I cannot remove firebase library since I need it for crash reporting and analytics. – chubao May 23 '17 at 03:22
@David I only needed this for the new "Performance" features. You won't need this line for the crash reporting. – Amine Lou May 23 '17 at 06:38
@macmoonshine this is the line that was causing the issue. The quickest workaround was to comment it or remove it. – Amine Lou Nov 08 '17 at 12:36
Oh sorry, I see. I've edited your answer to make it clearer. – clemens Nov 08 '17 at 12:51

The problem is the new Android plugin version 3.0.0-alpha1

Just revert the plugin to 2.3 or 2.4-alpha7 and use gradle 3.5, it will work with the Firebase Plugin

Other than firebase if you have any other build script (maybe custom build scripts), that is using Guava library you must upgrade it to guava:21:0 or exclude guava from it

I am seeing the "Execution failed for task" error starting with Android studio 2.4 and now 3.0 canary running on my Win7 PC. What seems to help for me is to run Task Manager and then kill the java.exe process. The build runs through cleanly after that for me.
