InvalidUserDataException publishing to maven when minSdkVersion < 21

I have atask, which has been working fine to install to my local .m2/ repo. However, if I reduce the minSdkVersion below 21, it fails with the error below. I’m a total noob in gradle land, so I don’t know how changing the minSdkVersion for my Android project should break a maven task. (I’m guessing some weird transitive dependency conflict on a support lib mabye?) I also get the same error with a similar task that effects a mvn deploy to our onsite repo–works for minSdkVersion 21, but not less

I should also note that it took a long time to find a way to get maven publishing to work at all. All the various simpler approaches I found in the gradle docs didn’t work for me, or assumed a different maven setup than I have. If there’s a better way to publish to both local .m2/ and to our onsite maven repo (using scp or possibly sftp or http(s)) I’m all for it.

I didn’t want to clutter things up pasting in my whole build.gradle, but if you need to see more, let me know.

Thanks!
Jeff

Have you solve this?? I have the same problem

My guess is you are using MultiDex.
See here:

In the past I was able to ignore this error by not MultiDexing my app.
My app has now reached the complexity that I have to MultiDex it.
Half a year later I am still looking for a solution. :confused:

Try this updated version of standard maven plugin for android
