No output of type SPLIT_LIST after upgrading gradle to 3.0.0-alpha5

Question

After upgrading gradle to 3.0.0-alpha5, my project cannot sync gradle.

I received this message:

Gradle sync failed: No output of type: SPLIT_LIST

and in idea.logsomething about my version release:

Variant 'release' has no output with type 'SPLIT_LIST'

buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled true
        shrinkResources true
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}

Answer 1

The problem lies in the shrinkResourcesconfig. Removal is a temporary solution. Unfortunately, I did not find any information about giving up on this, so I think this is a mistake.
