Gradle fails to create POM with "The configuration to scope mapping is not unique."

Help/Discuss

Since a few weeks (and probably gradle versions), I am unable to upload the archives to Maven Central. If I don’t invoke gradle with --stacktrace I get

$ gradle uploadArchives
> Task :smack-android:uploadArchives FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':smack-android:uploadArchives'.
> Could not publish configuration 'archives'
   > Could not write to file '/home/flo/data/code/smack/smack-android/build/poms/pom-default.xml'.

using --stacktrace yields

Caused by: org.gradle.api.InvalidUserDataException: The configuration to scope mapping is not unique. The following configurations have the same priority: [org.gradle.api.artifacts.maven.Conf2ScopeMapping@856ed98c, org.gradle.api.artifacts.maven.Conf2ScopeMapping@62c4ce18]

I am using Gradle 4.4.1 to upload the archives of the FOSS library Smack.

I am not sure what the cause of this is, as I don’t remember changing anything related to POM configuration in Smack recently. Any help or pointers in the right direction to solve this is appreciated.

Getting the same error here today. Did you ever figure it out?
