Resource shrinker cannot be used for multi-apk applications

So today I decided to try my hand at making at making a dynamic feature module. I have R8 enabled with both minifyEnabled and shrinkResources set to true. Trying to compile gives me the following error.

Resource shrinker cannot be used for multi-apk applications
Affected Modules: app

Has anyone else seen this? There are similar questions around stack but nothing directly related to DFMs.

I would love to keep this flag enabled to avoid library bloat

Gradle Plugin: 4.0.0
