Suggested Android integration has stopped working since Android Gradle Plugin 3.0

In the end of December I was struggling to integrate the Nexus IQ scan with my Android project and could not find much info on that. After 3-4 days of going through documentation of Gradle, looking at the topic here How to scan Android for Vulnerabilities? and intense Groovy regexp session I have managed to correct the implementation of copyDependencies method that was described in the old topic.

This experience was quite brutal and I would like to share back to the community the results of my work so that the next people who come around don’t struggle so much and have a better position.

Here is the gist with copyDependencies gradle task generation

copyDeps.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android.applicationVariants.all { variant ->
    task "copyDependencies${variant.name.capitalize()}"() {
        outputs.upToDateWhen { false }
        doLast {
            println "Executing copyDependencies${variant.name.capitalize()}"
            variant.getCompileClasspath().each { fileDependency ->
                def sourcePath = fileDependency.absolutePath
                def destinationPath = project.projectDir.path + "/build/dependencies/${variant.name}/"

and my guide on Medium on how to use it and what is inside this script. (Couldn’t link directly to Medium, so posting a link to linkedin)
