title: Meaning of "android.enableAapt2 will be removed at the end of 2018"?
body: <p>Gradle version: 4.4
  Android Plugin Version: 3.1.2</p>
  
  <p>Hi.
  I'm working on an Android which should be deploy by using a Mobile Device Management called AirWatch.
  So since Android Gradle Plugin 3.0.0, even if I update application version code and version name, <strong>the MDM thinks that the last deployed version and the current one are the same</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>Using dump badging command, I see that the <strong>platformBuildVersionName is empty</strong>. So when I disable aapt2 from my gradle properties file, <strong>platformBuildVersionName is filled</strong>. which allow me to deploy on the MDM. The problem is not up to date we don't when they will. So this is the work around I found. I know that the option 'android.enableAapt2' is deprecated and should not be used anymore.</p>
  
  <p>My question is what's the meaning "It will be removed at the end of 2018"? Is that mean, at the end of 2018, my app will not compile anymore?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
