title: Vector Drawables flag doesn't work on Support Library 24+
body: <p>Today, it seems as though Android Nougat was <a href="https://android.googleblog.com/2016/08/android-70-nougat-more-powerful-os-made.html" rel="noreferrer">released</a>. Thus, I am more excited than ever to optimize my app for the new features like split-screen. I would like to push a version of my app that targets SDK version <code>24</code> so that users aren't notified that my app may not work in split-screen. However, doing so means that I should also update to version <code>24</code> of the Support Library. Like many others, I experienced a problem when updating to version <code>23.2.0</code> of the Support Library. However, I followed <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/35740506/5432386">this answer</a> and it fixed my issue. Now the issue is returning as of version <code>24.0.0</code> and up of the Support Library. In all of my tests I am using the gradle flag described in the linked answer:</p>
  
  <pre><code>vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It is also important to note that this is only happening on pre-Lolliop devices (Kitkat and below). Lollipop and up works perfectly. When using the following dependencies, the flag works fine:</p>
  
  <pre><code>compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.4.0'
  compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
  compile 'com.android.support:design:23.4.0'
  compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.4.0'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when using these dependencies, I get a crash similar to the one I got before using the flag:</p>
  
  <pre><code>compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:24.2.0'
  compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.0'
  compile 'com.android.support:design:24.2.0'
  compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:24.2.0'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is the stack trace of the crash:</p>

  <p>Am I totally missing something? Or is this already a known issue (I couldn't find anything on Google)? Any help would be appreciated.</p>
