Fails to build for Android with A problem was found with the configuration of task ':app:mergeDebugJniLibFolders'

[nrawrx3]

I am trying to build for Android and I get this same error when building from both a macbook and windows desktop.

Android Studio version:

Android Studio Koala Feature Drop | 2024.1.2
Build #AI-241.18034.62.2412.12266719, built on August 23, 2024

Error:

* What went wrong:
A problem was found with the configuration of task ':app:mergeDebugJniLibFolders' (type 'MergeSourceSetFolders').
  - Gradle detected a problem with the following location: 'C:\Users\Soumik\werk\Vulkan-Samples\build\android_gradle\layerLib\jniLibs\android-binaries-1.3.275.0'.
    
    Reason: Task ':app:mergeDebugJniLibFolders' uses this output of task ':app:unzip' without declaring an explicit or implicit dependency. This can lead to incorrect results being produced, depending on what order the tasks are executed.
    
    Possible solutions:
      1. Declare task ':app:unzip' as an input of ':app:mergeDebugJniLibFolders'.
      2. Declare an explicit dependency on ':app:unzip' from ':app:mergeDebugJniLibFolders' using Task#dependsOn.
      3. Declare an explicit dependency on ':app:unzip' from ':app:mergeDebugJniLibFolders' using Task#mustRunAfter.
    
    For more information, please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/8.7/userguide/validation_problems.html#implicit_dependency in the Gradle documentation.

I have tried to add that as a dependency using dependsOn, but then it just says no such task "mergeDebugJniLibFolders" was defined in app.

Thanks for bringing this up. We currently don't support the latest Android Studio version and gradle build tools (see https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Samples/blob/main/docs/build.adoc#android). We'll soon update the samples to work with recent tools.
