Obsolete android.registerTransform on Gradle 7.3.1

[SunnyBe]

I only get this warning when I apply the AGConnect plugin. I have tried to update to the latest version, even though no fix was specified in the change log.

The plugin: apply plugin: 'com.huawei.agconnect' If I build without this plugin, I don't get this warning.

This is the error I get:

API 'android.registerTransform' is obsolete.
It will be removed in version 8.0 of the Android Gradle plugin.
The Transform API is removed to improve build performance. Projects that use the
Transform API force the Android Gradle plugin to use a less optimized flow for the
build that can result in large regressions in build times. It’s also difficult to
use the Transform API and combine it with other Gradle features; the replacement
APIs aim to make it easier to extend the build without introducing performance or
correctness issues.

There is no single replacement for the Transform API—there are new, targeted
APIs for each use case. All the replacement APIs are in the
`androidComponents {}` block.

The Transform API uses incremental APIs deprecated since Gradle 7.5. Please add
`android.experimental.legacyTransform.forceNonIncremental=true` to
`gradle.properties` to fix this issue. Note that this will run transforms
non-incrementally and may have a build performance impact.
For more information, see https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin-api-updates#transform-api.
To determine what is calling android.registerTransform, use -Pandroid.debug.obsoleteApi=true on the command line to display more information.

In Adding Build Dependencies Side I tested the implementation agconnect of both
old and new methods on gradle level 7.3.1

OLD METHOD (BUILD GRADLE APP LEVEL) :
Top of the page :

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.huawei.agconnect'

NEW METHOD (BUILD GRADLE APP LEVEL) :
Top of the page :

plugins {
   id 'com.android.application'
   id 'com.huawei.agconnect'
}

and I did not encounter any errors.
Can you share the build gradle codes you applied?

It is a deprecation warning in 7.3.1 but breaks on 8.0. Gradle expects that this warning be fixed by removing the Transform API being used before 8.0.
