Gradle deprecation “Relying on packaging to define the extension of the main artifact…” in Android Studio project can be fixed?

Question

I\'d like to learn how to use Android Studio at the best, but I still have limited experience especially in building with Gradle.

Answer 1

This appears to be a bug in the Android Gradle plugin and not something you're doing wrong; I see it coming up any time you include a dependency in one of your modules even if it's specified correctly. This warning isn't anything to worry about.

I've filed https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=65501 about this.
