I am trying to create custom plugin that is using

com.android.compose.screenshot

plugin as dependency. Idea is for my custom plugin to be located inside

buildSrc

(Gradle Kotlin DSL) and serve as base configuration for screenshot testing, however Gradle complains that:

Please enable screenshotTest source set first to apply the screenshot test plugin.
Add "android.experimental.enableScreenshotTest=true" to gradle.properties
The android.experimental.enableScreenshotTest=true property is added to root build.gradle.kts file however it seems like it's not available inside buildSrc - any idea on how to fix this?

It looks like these plugins are aplied instantly when I add

implementation(plugin(libs.plugins.composeScreenshot))

to

buildSrc\settings.gradle.kts

Perhaps I am applying these plugins in wrong way (or gradle.properties are not evaluated in time) Any ideas on how to fix this? Config: `buildSrc\settings.gradle.kts`:

dependencyResolutionManagement {
  repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
  }

  versionCatalogs {
    create("libs") {
      from(files("../gradle/libs.versions.toml"))
    }
  }
}
buildSrc\build.gradle.kts
import org.gradle.kotlin.dsl.`kotlin-dsl`
import java.util.Properties

plugins {
  `kotlin-dsl`
}

repositories {
  google()
  mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
  implementation(plugin(libs.plugins.android.application))
  implementation(plugin(libs.plugins.android.library))
  implementation(plugin(libs.plugins.compose.compiler))
  implementation(plugin(libs.plugins.composeScreenshot))
}

fun plugin(plugin: Provider<PluginDependency>) = plugin.map { "${it.pluginId}:${it.pluginId}.gradle.plugin:${it.version}" }

`gradle\libs.versions.toml`:

[plugins]
android-application = { id = "com.android.application", version.ref = "androidPlugin" }
android-library = { id = "com.android.library", version.ref = "androidPlugin" }
compose-compiler = { id = "org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.compose", version.ref = "kotlin" }
composeScreenshot = { id = "com.android.compose.screenshot", version.ref = "screenshot" }

Hello. The Android Gradle Plugin seems to create an aggregate test task called

testDebugUnitTest

in modules that don't have flavors. But it doesn't do that for modules that have flavors. We have dozens of flavors (each one is a customization for a client) that share 99% of the code, but have some little differences in code and dependencies. And we have tests specific to a flavor in

src/testFlavor1

,

src/testFlavor2

, etc. We'd like to create a test task that runs all the tests for the current module and integrates well with the IDE (so it has to be of type

AndroidUnitTest

, but correct me if I'm wrong). So basically we want to create a

testDebugUnitTest

for these modules with flavors. How to do that?

After updating to android gradle plugin 8.9.0, when I

Generate Signed APK…

I get:

> Task :app:minifyReleaseWithR8
AGPBI: {"kind":"error","text":"java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Operation is not supported for read-only collection","sources":[{}],"tool":"R8"}
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Operation is not supported for read-only collection

If I revert back to 8.8.2, then the issue goes away.

Hey #CJYS1DAP5 channel! 👋 I'm running into some persistent Gradle build failures trying to integrate the Firebase SDK (specifically the com.google.gms.google-services plugin) into an existing Android-only React Native project. I've followed the standard Firebase setup (defining the plugin in root build.gradle with apply false, applying it in app build.gradle, adding the BoM & dependencies), but the build still fails. I suspect there's a conflict or ordering issue with React Native's Gradle configuration (com.facebook.react plugin, settings.gradle setup, etc.). Here's a build scan showing the failure: https://scans.gradle.com/s/7fyfcn5vthtma Has anyone encountered similar issues or have tips for reconciling the Firebase google-services plugin setup with a typical React Native Android build configuration? Any pointers on plugin application order or potential settings.gradle interactions would be appreciated! Thanks!

Is there a way to make grade error out in case it doesn't find a package? Would save me a few hours of debugging.

Hey guys, how can I configure Gradle Managed Devices to generate a release task as well?

Hey everyone, wondering if anyone knows the proper incantations in a kts buildscript to properly use the Firebase App Distribution plugin, such that you can have a

firebaseAppDistribution

block at the project level for config common to all build variants, but also override stuff at the buildType/productFlavor level. I see that the app distribution plugin provides the following 3 extensions:

package com.google.firebase.appdistribution.gradle

public fun com.android.build.api.dsl.ProductFlavor.firebaseAppDistribution(action: com.google.firebase.appdistribution.gradle.AppDistributionExtension.() -> kotlin.Unit): kotlin.Unit { /* compiled code */ }

public fun org.gradle.api.Project.firebaseAppDistribution(action: com.google.firebase.appdistribution.gradle.AppDistributionExtension.() -> kotlin.Unit): kotlin.Unit { /* compiled code */ }

public fun org.gradle.nativeplatform.BuildType.firebaseAppDistribution(action: com.google.firebase.appdistribution.gradle.AppDistributionExtension.() -> kotlin.Unit): kotlin.Unit { /* compiled code */ }

I've got this at the top of my build script per the instructions and the linter error:

import com.google.firebase.appdistribution.gradle.firebaseAppDistribution

But only the extension on

org.gradle.api.Project

seems to resolve. When I add a

firebaseAppDistribution

block to my

release

buildType, I still get a red squiggly. I'm on pretty much the most recent versions of everything. So far, this is all I've found on the topic - https://medium.com/@anthony_m_cannon/android-firebase-app-distribution-for-multiple-build-types-4b50ff751ef0 and it pretty much seems like the author couldn't figure it out, so he worked around it by specifying an env-var in CI so he could pick the right one at the Project level block. But this seems wrong. But maybe the plugin is wrong? My release buildType block's type is

org.gradle.api.NamedDomainObjectContainer<com.android.build.api.dsl.ApplicationBuildType>

which is definitely NOT

org.gradle.nativeplatform.BuildType

Hi. Does anyone know why Room Gradle plugin doesn't do its job (generating DB schema file) and complains:

w: [ksp] Schema export directory was not provided to the annotation processor so Room cannot export the schema. You can either provide `room.schemaLocation` annotation processor argument by applying the Room Gradle plugin (id 'androidx.room') OR set exportSchema to false.

depending on how the plugin is applied? --- Method 1 (everything is fine, schema is generated, no warnings)

libs.versions.toml

[versions]
room = "2.7.2"

[plugins]
room = { id = "androidx.room", version.ref = "room" }

app/build.gradle.kts

plugins {
    // ...
    alias(libs.plugins.room)
}

android {
    room {
        schemaDirectory("$projectDir/schemas")
    }
}

--- Method 2 (doesn't work, "_Schema export directory was not provided ..._")

[versions]
room = "2.7.2"

[libraries]
room-plugin = { module = "androidx.room:room-gradle-plugin", version.ref = "room" }

[plugins]
room = { id = "androidx.room" } // no version here

build.gradle.kts

(root project)

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath(libs.room.plugin)

ive noticed consistently that Android studio leaks gradle daemons pretty often, nearly daily. I typically have to kill daemons or restart the IDE then kill the daemon to get rid of leaked ones. Is this a known issue? its especially egregious since we need 24GB+ of ram to build our app in reasonable amount of time. so end up with a "BUSY" daemon thats not actually compiling, then Android studio / gradle spins up a new daemon that causes memory pressure with the other one until i kill and sometimes need to restart the IDE Slack Conversation

Hi! I’m working on a project that hasn’t get its dependencies updated for a long time. I’m trying to update protobuf from 3.25.5 to 4.32 but I’m hitting a conflict wall.

Duplicate class com.google.protobuf.DescriptorProtos found in modules protobuf-javalite-4.32.0.jar -> protobuf-javalite-4.32.0 (com.google.protobufprotobuf javalite4.32.0) and protolite-well-known-types-18.0.1.aar -> protolite-well-known-types-18.0.1-runtime (com.google.firebaseprotolite well known types18.0.1)

…

I removed the direct dependency to

javalite

from my project, I tried what’s recommended here, I ask chatGPT and Claude for help but nothing to avail. Has anyone got those conflict issues and managed to fix them?

Got a popup today in android studio... didn't grab a screenshot but it said something like "New macro available for GRADLE_LOCAL_JAVA_HOME" What does that mean? is it that theres a new ENV variable for declaring which java home, gradle should use? I think im more confused at what a "macro" is maybe?

Hi! New here. I'm having problem with " Could not find com.facebook.reactreact native gradle plugin.". Any ideas why?

Why is

languageSettings { }

unavailable inside KotlinAndroidProjectExtension?

I'm cleaning up build files for a new project I'm on... We have this 😱

android {
  compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_17
    targetCompatbility JavaVersion.VERSION_17
  }
  kotlin {
    jvmToolchain(17)
  }
  kotlinOptions {
    jvmTarget = '17'
  }
}

tasks.withType<KotlinCompile>().configureEach {
  compilerOptions { jvmTarget.set(JvmTarget.JVM_17) }
}

I can consolidate all of that... right? What's the "right" way?
