Can't run app with Instant Run on Android Studio 3.0

I've updated to Android Studio 3.0 and now I cannot run the app with Instant Run enabled.

I get 'Execution failed for task' due to a java.io.FileNotFoundException because it can't find the apk under

../build/intermediates/instant-run-resources/resources-production/

Any idea how to overcome this so that I can run the project with Instant Run?

I'm not sure where to find the missing apk file or how to change the path to look for it in.

Solution

  • I found the problem and the solution.

    In my case the cause was dexcount-gradle-plugin. The plugin is expecting that the package task produces an APK, but that is not true anymore on Instant Run. So they released a new version that disables the process when running with Instant Run.

    So I just had to update dexcount to the latest version.
