I have this problem too but this is just a warning although it's a red message, and it's going to be fixed with plugin updates, you should not worry about it.

But if it's bothering you, you can downgrade your Gradle version to 3.2.0 and it will be disappeared. (I'm not sure about Gradle version but if 3.2.0 doesn't help you, try other versions).

As the message indicates it is a warning that can be safely ignored until you update to versions of Android Gradle Plugin beyond 3.3.0.

We are aware of this and a future update will use the new instead of the deprecated Android Gradle Plugin API.

This has been fixed in the latest release of the Fabric gradle plugin, 1.28.0. Have this in your top-level build.gradle:

buildscript {
  // ... repositories, etc. ...

   dependencies {
       // ...other dependencies ...
       classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.28.0'
   }
}

What is "Fabric gradle plugin"? I think the warning at my AS is from a Google library... – The incredible Jan Nov 10 '21 at 10:19

For my case, i used variant.javaCompile() in my gradle, change it to variant.javaCompileProvider(), and then the problem was solved.

So you can try to change variant.javaCompile() to variant.javaCompileProvider() in your code.

Or check the gradle plugin you used, for example Fabric.

variant.javaCompile() does not come up in any search in my code – Jordan Jul 17 '19 at 16:03
@Jordan check the plugin that was included in your gradle – Shawn Wong Jul 18 '19 at 03:47
What plugin? And what could you do about problems in 3rd party code (if you even have the code and not only a pre-compiled library)? – The incredible Jan Nov 10 '21 at 10:23
