Is the android gradle plugin compatible with android studio?


Asked by Adrianna McCarty on Nov 29, 2021 Android



The Android Studio build system is based on Gradle, and the Android Gradle plugin adds several features that are specific to building Android apps. Although the Android plugin is typically updated in lock-step with Android Studio, the plugin (and the rest of the Gradle system) can run independent of Android Studio and be updated separately.
Moreover,
Although there is no matching versions of Android Studio yet, Android Studio 2.3 is compatible with this version of the plugin. To apply the plugin to a sample project, change the plugin version in your project-level build.gradle file to the following:
Additionally, If the specified plugin version has not been downloaded, Gradle downloads it the next time you build your project or click Tools > Android > Sync Project with Gradle Files from the Android Studio menu bar.
Also Know,
Android Studio reads the properties file from the Gradle wrapper directory inside your project and runs the wrapper from this directory, so you can seamlessly work with multiple projects that require different versions of Gradle.
And,
Android Gradle Plugin 7.0.0 is compatible with Kotlin Multiplatform plugin 1.5.0 and higher. Projects that use the Kotlin Multiplatform support need to update to Kotlin 1.5.0 to use Android Gradle Plugin 7.0.0. As a workaround, you can downgrade the Android Gradle plugin to 4.2.x, although this is not recommended.
