Android Gradle v 3.1.3 update turned app launcher icon to default

Question

After I updated my build.gradle with com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3

The icon of my app shows up as default android Icon.

I am using correct icon and round icon in my AndroidManifest.xml as below

 <application
    android:name=".EbatesApp"
    android:allowBackup="false"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/application_name"
    android:resizeableActivity="false"
    android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_circle"
    android:supportsRtl="false"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
    tools:replace="android:allowBackup,android:supportsRtl,label"
    >

I have mipmap-anydpi that has ic_launcher.xml and ic_launcher_circle.xml

And that subsequently calls appropriate pngs from mipmap folders based on resolution.

This works only for the devices that has Android O+.

All this was working fine till gradle v 2.3.3. However after update this doesn't seem to work.

I have searched on SO and found similar post App icon doesn't show (Android Studio) , but that doesn't work for me.

No word on it in migrartion guide either: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/gradle-plugin-3-0-0-migration

Any inputs on what seems to missing would be greatly appriciated

This is actually the same as this post: Application icon not showing after Gradle plugin update to 3.0

This is not specific to v3.1.3, but v3.0.0 in general. The solution is to change from mipmap-anydpi -> mipmap-anydpi-v26.
