[GROOVY-8366] InvokeDynamic Classes Not Compatible with Android Compiler

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Priority: Blocker
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Component/s: Android
• Environment: Android with minSdk < 26 using plugin 3.0.0

Description

Looks like in the newest Android Gradle Plugin 3.0.0 is supporting invoke dynamic on Android versions < 26. There is now a check on versions using minSdk < 26 that causes the build to fail when the grooid jar is on the classpath

More Details: https://github.com/groovy/groovy-android-gradle-plugin/issues/145

Possible Solution: Create two jars for Android one with these classes removed and one with the classes still included. Should be pretty easy to do in the assembly.gradle and could possibly an opportunity to change the name of grooid to something else.
