Google AppInvites break build

Question

Part of our app's build.gradle is this:

tasks.withType(com.android.build.gradle.tasks.PackageApplication) { pkgTask ->
    pkgTask.jniFolders = new HashSet<File>()
    pkgTask.jniFolders.add(new File(projectDir, 'libs'))
}

For some reason when setting up AppInvites, build starts failing with following error:

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> Cannot set the value of read-only property 'jniFolders' on task ':app:packageProdDebug'.

I am also seeing this when trying to use [Android Studio Instant Run](https://sites.google.com/a/android.com/tools/tech-docs/instant-run) — Chad Bingham, Nov 23 '15 at 19:48
thanks, what helped me is changing the gradle version to 1.3.1. — Mounir Elfassi, Feb 05 '16 at 14:04

Change the gradle version to 1.3.1.

 dependencies {
     classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.1'
 }

I'm using 1.5 and it's still the same. – Nov 29 '15 at 12:14
I got error in git 2.5, and have to downgrade to 1.3.1 so try this specific version ! – Ashish Rawat Nov 30 '15 at 06:04

Same error when I tried to use Instant Run.

Fixed by adding this instead:

android {
  sourcesets {
    main {
      jniLibs.srcDir new File(buildDir, 'lib')
    {
  }
}
