Environment

Android, android-gradle-plugin 4.1.0 (works fine with 4.0.2)

Description

Try to do a build with selective font inclusion:

./android/app/build.gradle

// Needed to shrink APK with react-native-vector-icons - don't include all the font files
project.ext.vectoricons = [
        iconFontNames: [ 'Entypo.ttf', 'FontAwesome.ttf' ] // Name of the react-native-vector-icons fonts to copy
]
apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/fonts.gradle"
// End of react-native-vector-icons stuff

The problem is going to be somewhere in here but my gradle-fu is not quite strong enough to fix it:

react-native-vector-icons/fonts.gradle

Lines 42 to 56 in 3458ae8

	currentFontTask.dependsOn("merge${targetName}Resources")
	currentFontTask.dependsOn("merge${targetName}Assets")
	[
	"processArmeabi-v7a${targetName}Resources",
	"processX86${targetName}Resources",
	"processUniversal${targetName}Resources",
	"process${targetName}Resources"
	].each { name ->
	Task dependentTask = tasks.findByPath(name);
	if (dependentTask != null) {
	dependentTask.dependsOn(currentFontTask)
	}
	}

Currently, the creation and addition of tasks to the Task Graph are dependent upon the project to be evaluated while Gradle is building i.e gradle.projectsEvaluated. In simpler terms, This task is being created while the Gradle build is in the execution phase due to which the task to copy the fonts was not being added to the TaskGraph(of tasks to be executed).

Solution:
see: #1271
The listener to the project evaluated is now removed. Now, the tasks are added to the TaskGraph while in the configuration phase, thus our copy{}IconFonts task can be run in the execution phase of Gradle Build.
