Looks good.

mergeResources is also used in GoogleServicesPlugin.groovy. Would be good to fix that usage as well.

[jzbrooks]

@colinrtwhite As requested, the google services plugin has been fixed as well.

[colinrtwhite]

Thanks! Unfortunately, I don't have permissions to merge or I would. I believe @davidmotson and @zhiqiao have access.

Need to fix this for google play services plugin as well, kindly do the needful.

It's fixed in the PR already. It just needs to be merged and shipped.

I've forked the Google Play Services Plugin here and merged @jzbrooks's PR.

To use it add JitPack to your list of repositories:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

And replace the plugin in your list of dependencies:

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        // Replace "classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.0'" with:
        classpath 'com.github.colinrtwhite:google-services:9da6686'
    }
}

@zhiqiao would it be possible to get this merged and in a release soon?

Is there someone I could loop into this review that might be more available for review if you aren't able?

[davidmotson]

Hi, thank you very much for your work on this. I'll merge it in and release it within the next month.

[jzbrooks]

Thanks!

[eeVoskos]

Any news about an upcoming release that includes this fix? Thanks.
