After updating Android Studio to version 2.2 and the Gradle-plugin to 2.2.0, I get following error:
"Could not get unknown property 'assembleRelease' for project ':app' of type org.gradle.api.Project."
When I change the plugin version back to 2.1.3 the code still works, but that's no long-term option for me.
My code:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
dependencies {
...
}
android {
...
}
...
assembleRelease.doLast {
file('build/outputs/apk/app-release.apk').renameTo("AppName-1.0.0-${project.ext.androidVersionCode}.apk")
}
Hint:
project.ext.androidVersionCode is a variable defined otherwhere and contains a build number. The code in assembleRelease.doLast shall just move/rename the generated apk file.
Thank you for advices!

You may rewrite your task a bit and try like this:
task renameBuildTask() << {
file('build/outputs/apk/app-release.apk').renameTo("AppName-1.0.0-${project.ext.androidVersionCode}.apk")
dependsOn 'assembleRelease'
}
Also you can check this question to get better understanding.
EDIT
As @tangens said in a comment:
It works when I replace the call gradle assemble by e.g. gradle renameBuildTask. Thank you! The answer contains an error. Correct would be: task renameBuildTask() << { ... }
tasks.whenTaskAdded { task ->
if (task.name == 'assembleRelease') {
task.finalizedBy 'yourRenameTasks'
}
}
maybe wrap code in afterEvaluate{} will be work:
afterEvaluate {
assembleRelease.doLast {
file('build/outputs/apk/app-release.apk').renameTo("AppName-1.0.0-${project.ext.androidVersionCode}.apk")
}
}
gradle-2.14.1 and android gradle plugin 2.2.0
details:
Could not get unknown property 'assembleDebug' (2.2-beta)
I had the same problem after upgrading Android Studio to 2.2 and Gradle to 2.2.
I have task copyApk that needs to be run at the end of building. For brevity, let me skip what was working before, and post only what is working right now:
tasks.create(name: 'copyApk', type: Copy) {
from 'build/outputs/apk/myapp-official-release.apk'
into '.../mobile'
rename('myapp-official-release.apk', 'myapp.apk')
}
tasks.whenTaskAdded { task ->
if (task.name == 'assembleRelease') {
task.dependsOn 'copyApk'
}
}
Gradle console shows copyApk was run near the end after packageOfficialRelease, assembleOfficialRelease, right before the last task assembleRelease. "Official" is a flavor of the app.
I got the workaround from this SO post. I essentially copied the answer here for your convenience. All credits go to the author of that post.
inside buildTypes {} method, I put this code : worked like a charm
task setEnvRelease << {
ant.propertyfile(
file: "src/main/assets/build.properties") {
entry(key: "EO_WS_DEPLOY_ADDR", value: "http://PRODUCTION IP")
}
}
task setEnvDebug << {
ant.propertyfile(
file: "src/main/assets/build.properties") {
entry(key: "EO_WS_DEPLOY_ADDR", value: "http://DEBUG IP TEST")
}
}
tasks.whenTaskAdded { task ->
if (task.name == 'assembleDebug') {
task.dependsOn 'setEnvDebug'
} else if (task.name == 'assembleRelease') {
task.dependsOn 'setEnvRelease'
}
}
you can do this:
task copyApk(dependsOn: "assembleRelease") << {
file('build/outputs/apk/app-release.apk').renameTo("AppName-1.0.0-${project.ext.androidVersionCode}.apk")
}
