I think the

pluginManagement

part is unnecessary

it's only have to be in settings? i'll check, because root/build.gradle's buildscript not working for such case

if you're loading both r8 and AGP in root

build.gradle(.kts)

or

buildSrc

then I'd think it might work depending on classpath order but you don't have control over that

Thanks! For what i've tested: 1. build script in build.gradle - not working (bundled version actually used) 2. variant on first post - working checked by log with version printed during the subject tool.. Found this article with some glimpse on my case: https://dev.to/autonomousapps/abusing-gradle-s-class-loader-hierarchy-for-fun-and-profit-oca Would be grateful if anyone point me on more info around it
