Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the shown build.gradle tasks.whenTaskAdded block and flutter build apk, then inspect the output of Gradle's --status command. Trace why each task addition causes another daemon to start; done means the APK build completes without recursively creating daemons or exhausting RAM.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When I added

tasks.whenTaskAdded { task ->
    if ((task.name == 'javaPreCompileDebug' || task.name == 'javaPreCompileRelease')) {
        task.dependsOn 'cargoBuild'
    }
}

to my flutter project's build.gradle and when I do flutter build apk I get things like

Starting a Gradle Daemon, 18 busy Daemons could not be reused, use --status for details
Starting a Gradle Daemon, 19 busy Daemons could not be reused, use --status for details
...

and then it keeps starting a new one until my RAM floods and the computer crashes. If I comment that code, it builds, but of course without gradle.

Is there a way to debug more to see what is hapening? Looking at the system monitor, it's starting lots of java gradle daemons
