this is roughly what I use at Square

I've been moving all of my projects to this style the past few months. Been a couple of speed bumps here and there but nothing blocking.

Same here as well. Felt like it was the easiest path to move to the plug in block as well include builds for build conventions plug ins The build conventions plug ins has been helpful for using the onVariants due to changes internal to AGP of adding tasks like generate test code coverage and check code coverage.

intersting! it looks so foreign to me. wonder why the change. thanks everyone

it's all about centralization and classloader isolation. Putting the buildscript dependencies in the root means every subproject has the same classpath, which can lead to unnecessary task invalidation
