[FIXED] Circular dependency between the following tasks

Issue

I try to solve this problem for more than 5 hours. What could be the problem?

Circular dependency between the following tasks:
:app:checkManifestChangesDevelopDebug
\--- :app:instantRunMainApkResourcesDevelopDebug
     \--- :app:transformClassesAndDexWithShrinkResForDevelopDebug
          \--- :app:transformDexArchiveWithDexMergerForDevelopDebug
               +--- :app:preColdswapDevelopDebug
               |    \--- :app:incrementalDevelopDebugTasks
               |         +--- :app:transformClassesAndClassesEnhancedWithInstantReloadDexForDevelopDebug
               |         |    \--- :app:transformClassesWithInstantRunForDevelopDebug
               |         |         \--- :app:checkManifestChangesDevelopDebug (*)
               |         \--- :app:transformClassesWithInstantRunForDevelopDebug (*)
               \--- :app:transformClassesWithDexBuilderForDevelopDebug
                    +--- :app:preColdswapDevelopDebug (*)
                    \--- :app:transformClassesWithInstantRunForDevelopDebug (*)

(*) - details omitted (listed previously)

I added:

Solution

This happens when a module depends on itself!

---

For example, suppose this for module app:

// ...
dependencies {
    implementation project(':app') // 'app' depends on 'app' !!!
    // ...
}
