Note that some of the plugins like :google-services:$ still not support the new plugin DSL and you are required to add buildscript using the legacy approach. While the old legacy way requires you to include the dependency's classpath inside the buildscript block. This new Gradle setup is called plugins DSL, it is the new way to add Gradle plugin dependency without needing to add its classpath. Is this really necessary? What is the point of that? Thanks Set up your project Run the Upgrade Assistant Troubleshoot errors The Android Gradle plugin (AGP) Upgrade Assistant is a tool in Android Studio that helps you upgrade the version of AGP used by your project. What I also do not understand is what does plugin do and why is it in app module?Īnother thing to ask is with this new setup you have two plugins block, one in app level and one in project level. I also wonder how would you add classpath on some plugins that still requires it like classpath ':google-services:4.3.10' NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here they belong

This block encapsulates custom properties and makes them available to all modules in the project.Ĭlasspath ':gradle:7.4.0-alpha03' My question is how to specify now the version of AGP with this setup? Before it looks like this // Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

When you are creating new Android project with the latest version of Android Studio it will now give you a project level adle that only contains plugins block // Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
