Android P visibilityawareimagebutton.setVisibility can only be called from the same library group

I'm trying to use the new Android P FloatingActionButton that's part of the com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton and I'm getting this warning:

VisibilityAwareImageButton.setVisibility can only be called from the same library group (groupId=com.google.android.material)

import com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
import android.view.View

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    lateinit var demoFab: FloatingActionButton

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        demoFab = findViewById(R.id.demoFab)
        demoFab.visibility = View.VISIBLE  // the warning is here
    }
}

enter image description here

I've tried searching and the only search result is in regards to responding to UI visibility changes:

Respond to UI visibility changes

I tried exploring how I could to see if there was a VISIBLE int value in that com.google.android.material package and the only one I found was com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton.VISIBLE, but the warning still remains.

edit:

I should note that I'm using Android Studio version 3.2 canary 14. It seems there have been some reported bugs for this version, and I suspect this is one of them.

edit 2:

Issue still exists with Android Studio version 3.2 canary 15, but I found a workaround for it using show() and hide()

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    demoFab = findViewById(R.id.demoFab)
    demoFab.show()    // this works and doesn't have the warning
}

Using Method 1

demoFab.show(); // in place of visible
demoFab.hide(); // in place of Invisible suppress the warning/error for me.

and Method 2

@SuppressLint("RestrictedApi") // also suppressed the warning
private void setUp() {
    ....
}

update:

Method 3:

demoFab.setVisibility(View.GONE);
demoFab.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
demoFab.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

Method 4:

demoFab.visibility = View.GONE
demoFab.visibility = View.INVISIBLE
demoFab.visibility = View.VISIBLE
