🐛 Bug: Gradle 8.13 + Kotlin 2.2.20 + AGP 8.13.0 cause task and configuration errors with moko-resources 0.25.1

Environment

Component | Version -- | -- moko-resources | 0.25.1 Kotlin | 2.2.20 Gradle | 8.13 Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) | 8.13.0 Compose Multiplatform | 1.9.0 Kotlin Multiplatform Plugin | org.jetbrains.kotlin.multiplatform Project type | Kotlin Multiplatform (Android + iOS + JVM) Module affected | core (shared module with com.test.core package) OS | Windows 11

Problem Description

When using dev.icerock.mobile.multiplatform-resources plugin inside a Kotlin Multiplatform module that has Android + iOS + JVM targets,
Gradle 8.13 produces several task dependency and Android resource merge errors.

Even after adding explicit afterEvaluate { dependsOn(...) } and sourceSets configurations, the following problems remain.

---

1️⃣ Implicit dependency / validation errors

A problem was found with the configuration of task ':core:generateMRandroidMain'
Gradle detected a problem with the following location:
'C:\KMP\core\build\generated\moko-resources\androidMain\res'
Reason: Task ':core:packageAndroidMainResources' uses this output of

task ':core:generateMRandroidMain' without declaring an explicit dependency.

Also occurs for:

• :core:generateMRandroidDeviceTest

• :core:processAndroidDeviceTestNavigationResources

• :core:generateAndroidDeviceTestResources

This breaks builds in Gradle 8.13 (due to stricter validation of implicit task dependencies).

---

2️⃣ .properties resource file issue (Android merge fails)

When the plugin generates .properties bundles, Android resource merge fails with:

ERROR: .../build/generated/moko-resources/androidMain/res/localization/comtestcore_mokoBundle.properties:
Resource and asset merger: The file name must end with .xml

Android’s aapt expects only .xml files under res/, so this prevents packaging.

---

3️⃣ Deprecated Kotlin DSL warning when trying to fix sourceSets manually

If sourceSets is configured inside kotlin.androidLibrary { ... } block, Gradle emits:

'val sourceSets: NamedDomainObjectContainer<KotlinSourceSet>' is deprecated.
Accessing 'sourceSets' container on the Kotlin target level DSL is deprecated.
Consider configuring 'sourceSets' on the Kotlin extension level.
This API is scheduled for removal in Kotlin 2.3.

---

Expected Behavior

The plugin should:

• Generate Android XML resource files (no .properties) under build/generated/moko-resources/androidMain/res.

• Properly register task dependencies between generateMR* and Android resource packaging tasks.

• Work without manual afterEvaluate or deprecated sourceSets configuration.

• Be compatible with Gradle 8.13 + Kotlin 2.2.20 + AGP 8.13.0.

---

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use this minimal configuration:

   plugins {
       alias(libs.plugins.kotlinMultiplatform)
       alias(libs.plugins.androidLibrary)
       alias(libs.plugins.moko.resources)
   }
   kotlin {
   
   androidLibrary {
   
   namespace = "com.test.core"
   
   }
   
   iosX64(); iosArm64(); iosSimulatorArm64()
   
   jvm()
   
   }
   multiplatformResources {
   
   resourcesPackage.set("com.test.core")
   
   }
   
   

2. Add a core/src/commonMain/moko-resources/base/strings.xml.

3. Run:

   ./gradlew :core:assemble
   

4. Observe task-dependency and resource-merge errors.

---

Additional Notes / Suggestions

• Perhaps the plugin should generate Android XML localizations instead of .properties for Android targets.

• Gradle 8.13 tightened validation for implicit task dependencies; explicit dependsOn may need to be added inside the plugin itself.

• Access to sourceSets inside Kotlin target DSL is now deprecated; plugin may need to register generated directories through AGP’s new APIs.
