Update Objenesis?

[pvegh]

Lately I'm seeing this in new Android Studios (Arctic Fox and Bumblebee):

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':app:mergeExtDexLocalDebug'.

Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:localDebugRuntimeClasspath'.
Failed to transform objenesis-3.1.jar (org.objenesis:objenesis:3.1) to match attributes {artifactType=android-dex, asm-transformed-variant=NONE, dexing-enable-desugaring=true, dexing-is-debuggable=true, dexing-min-sdk=23, org.gradle.category=library, org.gradle.libraryelements=jar, org.gradle.status=release, org.gradle.usage=java-runtime}.

Would updating objenesis dependency to 3.2 help us?

As mentioned in the Android Studio issue, upgrading objenesis to 3.2 fixes this problem. Hence an upgrade of this dependency is greatly appreciated. Currently I solve this problem with:

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy {
        force("org.objenesis:objenesis:3.2")
    }
}

Sure thing, upgrading to 3.2 does not seem like a breaking change to me.

Just pushed the upgrade to master.

Thanks for noticing this!

Could we please get an updated version posted to include this fix?

Sure thing, I'd like to get #816 merged first and then I'll publish a release straight away.
