AndroidAnnotions: In release buildType cannot find symbol - android-annotations

Question

Andoid Studio 3.2.1
Gradle 4.1
In debug mode project has applicationId "com.myproject".
In release mode project has `applicationId "com.myproject.beta"
In my project/build.gradle:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
In my app/build.gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 28
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.myproject"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 28
versionCode 1
versionName "1.1.1"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
}
signingConfigs {
release {
keyAlias keystoreProperties['KEY_ALIAS_RELEASE']
keyPassword keystoreProperties['KEY_PASSWORD_RELEASE']
storeFile file(keystoreProperties['STORE_FILE_RELEASE'])
storePassword keystoreProperties['STORE_PASSWORD_RELEASE']
}
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
signingConfig signingConfigs.release
configBuildType(delegate, "Release instance", "Release app name", "beta")
}
debug {
configBuildType(delegate, "Release instance", "Release app name", null)
ext.betaDistributionReleaseNotes = defaultConfig.versionName + " " + name
ext.betaDistributionEmailsFilePath = "app/beta_distribution_emails.txt"
}
}
}
def configBuildType(buildType, instanceName, appName, appIdSuffix) {
buildType.resValue("string", "app_name", appName)
buildType.applicationIdSuffix(appIdSuffix)
buildType.buildConfigField("String", "INSTANCE_NAME", instanceName)
}
def AAVersion = '4.5.2'
dependencies {
annotationProcessor "org.androidannotations:androidannotations:$AAVersion"
annotationProcessor "org.androidannotations:ormlite:$AAVersion"
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:exifinterface:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:28.0.0'

implementation "org.androidannotations:ormlite-api:$AAVersion"
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2'
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2'
}
As you can see I use android annotation lib:
org.androidannotations:androidannotation:4.5.2'
When I select buildType = debug the project success build.
But when I select buildType = release I get errors:
:scanlib:transformClassesAndResourcesWithPrepareIntermediateJarsForRelease UP-TO-DATE
:app:javaPreCompileRelease UP-TO-DATE
D:\myproject\app\activity\DebugConfigActivity.java:29: error: cannot find symbol
import com.myproject.app.widget.DebugRuleWidget_;
^
symbol: class DebugRuleWidget_
location: package com.myproject.app.widget
Here activity:
import org.androidannotations.annotations.EActivity;
import com.myproject.app.utils.AndroidUtil;
import com.myproject.app.widget.DebugRuleWidget_; // error here
#EActivity
public class DebugConfigActivity extends AppCompatActivity ..
}
import org.androidannotations.annotations.EView;
#EView
public class DebugRuleWidget extends LinearLayout implements ContextMenuInfo {
}

Add this block:
android {
defaultConfig {
javaCompileOptions {
annotationProcessorOptions {
arguments = ["resourcePackageName": android.defaultConfig.applicationId]
}
}
}
}
