https://github.com/Triple-T/gradle-play-publisher/blob/master/play/plugin/build.gradle.kts#L10 <-- they don't expose that dependency as part of the api, so you'll have to explicitly depend on it for your plugin to be able to access the type at compile time.

I have it as a dependency for my convention plugin project

dependencies {
    compileOnly(libs.play.gradlePlugin)
}

play-gradlePlugin = { group = "com.github.triplet.gradle", name = "play-publisher", version.ref = "playpublisher" }

given that you define it as a dependency and it doesn't fail your build (it doesn't, right?), it sure looks like they do

When I try to sync, AS fails

You should probably still report it as bug though. That it is part of the API but declared as

implementation

dependency instead of

api

dependency is exactly why you have the problem. 🙂

ok, thanks

Depending on

android-publisher

manually should help though if you did it correctly.

I will keep trying

Unfortunately the owner is not actively maintaining that project, but he is willing to review and merge PRs, so if this is something you need I encourage you to also propose the required changes in a PR as well if you want the issue to be solved anytime soon 🙂 (Also, the link to this slack thread will become invalid in a few months, so I suggest adding all relevant information there as well to better document the problem without requiring to join this slack)

Or just use the Linen Link, that's why we have the sync to it 🙂 https://www.linen.dev/s/gradle-community/t/14163956/i-am-trying-to-create-a-publsihing-convention-plugin-using-g#1e941593-51bd-45[…]d5a-48c5e27bc3ac
