NullnessChecker (w/ Android Gradle) cannot find generated AutoValue classes.

I'm adding the NullnessChecker to my project and am running in to this issue for every AutoValue class whose generated code is referenced. To isolate the issue I created a new Android Studio project with the "EmptyActivity" template, added a @AutoValue class Foo to MainActivity and followed https://checkerframework.org/manual/#android-gradle. ie. my only changes are:

build.gradle:

android {
    buildTypes {
        checked {
            initWith debug
            applicationIdSuffix ".checked"

            javaCompileOptions.annotationProcessorOptions {
                classNames.add("org.checkerframework.checker.nullness.NullnessChecker")
                arguments.put("nocheckjdk", "")
            }
        }
    }
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
}
dependencies {
    implementation "org.checkerframework:checker-qual-android:3.10.0"
    annotationProcessor "org.checkerframework:checker:3.10.0"
    implementation "com.google.auto.value:auto-value-annotations:1.7.4"
    annotationProcessor "com.google.auto.value:auto-value:1.7.4"
}

and MainActivity:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    ...
    @AutoValue
    static abstract class Foo {
        static Foo create() {
            return new AutoValue_MainActivity_Foo();
        }
    }
}

Without the NullnessChecker everything runs fine (ie. the checker passes & errors as expected). I can remove the AutoValue class and everything also runs fine. I can also change the NullnessChecker to some other Checker like "org.checkerframework.checker.interning.InterningChecker" and repro the same issue. Mainly I haven't been able to find a solution googling so far.

➜  MyApplication2 $ java -version
java version "11.0.9" 2020-10-20 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.9+7-LTS)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.9+7-LTS, mixed mode)
➜  MyApplication2 $ javac -version
javac 11.0.9

Lastly, when run from AndroidStudio (ie. Build > Rebuild Project) I get multiple errors:

failed
:app:compileCheckedJavaWithJavac
    app/src/main/java/com/example/myapplication/MainActivity.java
            cannot find symbol class AutoValue_MainActivity_Foo
        Error when invoking constructor for class org.checkerframework.checker.nullness.KeyForAnnotatedTypeFactory on args [org.checkerframework.checker.nullness.KeyForSubchecker@483570e8]; parameter types: [class org.checkerframework.common.basetype.BaseTypeChecker]; cause: java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: RELEASE
        java.lang.NullPointerException
    Cause: java.lang.NullPointerException

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
