Failed to capture fingerprint of input files for task ':app:javaPreCompileProductionDebug'

I updated android-studio to 3.3 and gradle to 4.10.1. But before run my old application I got this error:

org.gradle.api.UncheckedIOException: Failed to capture fingerprint of input files for task ':app:javaPreCompileProductionDebug' property 'annotationProcessorConfiguration' during up-to-date check
It says the problem is from my fingerprint functionality. I have this:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT" />
in my manifest that has deprecated and I don't know how to solve this problem.
Is it a bug? or it's my mistake or something?
                Any news on this? I doubt it has something to do with your fingerprint permission - I'm getting the same error but I am not using the fingerprint permission. Last thing I did was update Android Studio and Gradle.

                fingerprint of input files it has nothing to do with fingerptint on Android. It's a part of caching mechanism in Gradle.

                Each gradle task declares where its inputs and outputs are. And if some other process writes in a directory with inputs of one task, Gradle aborts with this error. If this happened only once then you need to kill all previous gradle instances after update (gradlew --stop).
