in android settings.gradle.kts

in dependencyresolutionManagement block whats the difference between

repositoriesMode.set(FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
and
repositoriesMode = FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS

same thing?

It uses the assignment Kotlin compiler plugin so that you can use `=` when there is actually a `Property` you set

If you use `repositoriesMode.assign` and navigate to the source of it, you see what it will do.
`=` translates in the compilation to `assign` and `assign` then handles it, like calling `set` for a `Property` or `setFrom` for a `ConfigurableFileCollection`

... and `.set()` is usually seen in older code, published before that plugin appeared.

Or in build-logic code that is not using that compiler plugin like plugins written in Java or Groovy or Scala, or also in Kotlin without that plugin

I think .set() comes by default in android new project wizard. i can submit a bug report for them to update it to = if that's the newer rec. Thanks all!
