title: Endpoint client library not recognized
body: <p>Not sure what happened, but after moving to gradle 3.0.0 rc2, my app module is not recognizing any of the client libraries produced by the endpoint module.</p>
  
  <p>The build can complete w/o any problem with one exception...none of the new API gets picked up by the build.</p>
  
  <p>Here's the dependency section of the gradle file in my app module:</p>
  
  <pre><code>dependencies {
  // Gradle dependency check...must be run in the project directory
  // ./gradlew -q dependencies app:dependencies --configuration compile
  
  implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
  implementation project(path: ':backend', configuration: 'android-endpoints')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I noticed that the war/jar files are consistently being updated in the backend/build/libs and the zip files are updated as well in backend/build/client-libs.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update #2:</strong></p>
  
  <p>This occurs with Android Studio 3.0.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update #3:</strong>
  Apparently, this is a known bug to 3.0 rc2 see <a href="https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/68300857#" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a></p>
  
  <p><strong>Update #4</strong>
  Here's what Google team's suggestion, but I have no idea getting it to work.  Anyone?</p>
