kotlinx-coroutines-debug depends on android-gradle-aspectj but android-gradle-aspectj is abandoned

[jmarks213]

I went to reach for kotlinx-coroutines-debug to work through an issue I am having but it throws the below error as noted in the readme. The solution per the readme is to add the android-gradle-aspectj plugin to the project. When you attempt to add android-gradle-aspectj it fails to resolve as the project did not migrate away from jcenter.

Is anyone able to host the android-gradle-aspectj plugin somewhere?

Debug agent and Android

Unfortunately, Android runtime does not support Instrument API necessary for kotlinx-coroutines-debug to function, triggering java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Ljava/lang/management/ManagementFactory;.

Nevertheless, it will be possible to support debug agent on Android as soon as GradleAspectJ-Android will support android-gradle 3.3

Hi,

This is not what the documentation says. It says

Nevertheless, it will be possible to support debug agent on Android as soon as GradleAspectJ-Android will support android-gradle 3.3

Yet it is not supported and we gave up on this plan. Thanks for pointing it out, I will adjust the doc accordingly.
We are not going to support coroutine debugger on Android, it will be a built-in tool of Android Studio itself in one of the upcoming versions of AS.
