API 'variant.getExternalNativeBuildTasks()' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'variant.getExternalNativeBuildProviders()
Using Android Studio 3.3 Canary 11 with the gradle plugin version 3.3.0-alpha11. It throws the following error when trying to sync gradle
WARNING: API 'variant.getExternalNativeBuildTasks()' is obsolete and has been
replaced with 'variant.getExternalNativeBuildProviders()'.
It will be removed at the end of 2019.
For more information, see https://d.android.com/r/tools/task-configuration-
avoidance
Affected Modules: app
Clicking on the error leads me to this line in the gradle file
applicationVariants.all { variant ->
variant.outputs.all {
outputFileName = "${variant.name}-${variant.versionName}.apk"
}
}
What exactly do I need to change here?

I have skipped out a few constants and other sensitive information in the app/build.gradle file.
The issue has been fixed in their latest release 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.30.0'
Please update your both gradle fabric tools with 1.30.0
buildscript {
// ... repositories, etc. ...
dependencies {
// ...other dependencies ...
classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.30.0'
}
}
For more details https://github.com/firebase/firebase-android-sdk/issues/198#issuecomment-473435453
EDIT
This issue has been fixed in Fabric 1.28.0. In your build.gradle of the project level, add the following line:
classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.28.1'
Previous Answer
It happens after I updated Android Studio to 3.3.0. apply plugin: 'io.fabric' is the cause. I have sent a bug report to Firebase team about this issue.
You have 3 options:
Wait until the next version of Fabric plugin is released. Check the latest version here.
Downgrade to Android Studio 3.2.1.
Comment out
io.fabricplugin.
In build.gradle of your app's module:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
// apply plugin: 'io.fabric' <== this plugin causes the error
However, you can still build and run your projects even though this error appears. Just ignore it.
In application build.gradle, downgrade to this stable version of gradle:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
It happens after I updated Android Studio to 3.3, a temp solution until they fix it.
Edit: You don't need to downgrade your Android Studio
UPDATE
As of today you can use classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.28.0' to fix this issue !
If commenting out Crashlytics's plugin io.fabric on the app gradle file worked for you temporarily
//apply plugin: 'io.fabric'
Then upgrading your fabric gradle dependencies on the Project gradle file will permanently solve the issue:
classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.27.0'
NB: this doesn’t remove the warnings but let you use Crashlytics with AS3.3+
