Calling configuration method 'copyRecursive()' is deprecated for configuration 'signatures', which has permitted usage(s):
Consumable - this configuration can be selected by another project as a dependency
Resolvable - this configuration can be resolved by this project to a set of files (but this behavior is marked deprecated)
Declarable - this configuration can have dependencies added to it (but this behavior is marked deprecated)
This method is only meant to be called on configurations which allow the (non-deprecated) usage(s): 'Resolvable'. This behavior has been deprecated. This behavior is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 9.0. Consult the upgrading guide for further information: https://docs.gradle.org/8.7/userguide/upgrading_version_8.html#deprecated_configuration_usage

Take a look at #850. It's merely that we evaluate the legacy configurations by default, which you can opt out of. When Gradle removes them then they won't be picked up by the dynamic scan. So it is ignorable or easy to suppress client-side.
