Setting `isDebuggable true` in Android buildTypes-->debug results in gradle sync error
When trying to setup two basic build types in an Android project according to the Android Dev User-Guide, I get an error upon syncing with gradle.
To reproduce this problem:
- Start a new Android project with an Empty Activity (Java, API 21+)
- Sync/Build No errors
- Add a debug build type as follows:
Default app-level build.gradle file:
plugins {
id 'com.android.application'
}
android {
compileSdk 30
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.myapplication"
minSdk 21
targetSdk 30
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
}
dependencies {
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.3.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.3.0'
implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.0'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.+'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.3'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.3.0'
}
After adding debug build type
plugins {
id 'com.android.application'
}
android {
compileSdk 30
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.myapplication"
minSdk 21
targetSdk 30
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
debug {
applicationIdSuffix ".debug"
isDebuggable true
}
}
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
}
dependencies {
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.3.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.3.0'
implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.0'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.+'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.3'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.3.0'
}
- Try to gradle sync and get the following error
A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.

Although I did not change anything from the default generated code, I'll also add the project-level gradle file for reference:
Project-level gradle file
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.0"
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
What is the correct syntax for isDebuggable and where can I find the documentation regarding this? I tried making it a string "true", and a 1, but without any luck. Is the Android guide out of date with the Gradle 7.0 update perhaps?
