Can't run app with Instant Run on Android Studio 3.0

Question

I\'ve updated to Android Studio 3.0 and now I cannot run the app with Instant Run enabled.

I get \'Execution failed for task\' due to a java.io.FileNotF

Answer 1

I found the problem and the solution.

In my case the cause was dexcount-gradle-plugin. The plugin is expecting that the package task produces an APK, but that is not true anymore on Instant Run. So they released a new version that disables the process when running with Instant Run.

So I just had to update dexcount to the latest version.
