About 1 time in 3 when doing a build with Gradle I get:

A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.tasks.PackageAndroidArtifact$IncrementalSplitterRunnable
... a thousand lines later...
Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

And then the next time it works. So that's exactly the level of quality I've come to expect from Gradle in particular and everything about Android in general.

A Gradle play in two acts.

Act 1:

WARNING: The property android.dependency.excludeLibraryComponentsFromConstraints improves project import performance for very large projects. It should be enabled to improve performance.

Act 2:

WARNING: The option setting 'android.dependency.excludeLibraryComponentsFromConstraints=true' is deprecated.

@jwz on the very very unlikely chance that you haven't heard this already: the default heap size for gradle is unworkably low, find the Xmx thingy and turn it up a lot to get faster less crash prone builds. (Sorry I can't tell you where the setting is right now because I forgot. I just remember that the default is way too low.)

@jwz it is extremely on brand that improving performance is deprecated.
