Android Studio Sync Failure with apply order when sub project is present

[jkasten2]

Issue

When com.onesignal.androidsdk.onesignal-gradle-plugin is applied before com.android.application and there is a sub Android library project sync gradle fails in Android Studio but all other ./gradlew build commands work just fine.

This is a follow up to issue #76 which a work around was found by changing the apply order. However this shouldn't be necessary for an app developer to change this.

Project Setup

build.gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()

    dependencies {
        classpath 'gradle.plugin.com.onesignal:onesignal-gradle-plugin:0.12.1'
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0'

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()

Full Error

"Resolving this BuildableArtifact can only done during task execution."

Other Things Tried

Upgrading to AGP 3.3.0-beta02 - no effect Downgrading this plugin to 0.11.3 results in the following error instead;

Cannot change strategy of configuration ':appr:debugRuntimeClasspath' after it has been resolved.

What works

The following runs fine without issues.

./gradlew assembleDebug works
./gradlew :app:dependencies

Dependency Tree

Does not apply, dependencies them selves are resolved correctly.
