What version of Gradle plugin do I use in my Android app?-CodePudding

I have the following build.gradle in my Android app:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.2'
    }
}

repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
}

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar', '*.aar'])
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:21.3.0'
    implementation "com.android.billingclient:billing:4.0.0"
}

and get a warining:

WARNING:We recommend using a newer Android Gradle plugin to use compileSdk = 33

This Android Gradle plugin (7.0.2) was tested up to compileSdk = 31

This warning can be suppressed by adding
    android.suppressUnsupportedCompileSdk=33
to this project's gradle.properties

The build will continue, but you are strongly encouraged to update your project to
use a newer Android Gradle Plugin that has been tested with compileSdk = 33

But when I try to use Gradle plugin 7.4 I get this:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

with 7.2 I get this:

What is happening?

EDIT1

If I spefify 7.3.1 version in build.gradle I get the following strange error message:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Build file 'D:\dev\repos\examples\src\LinesGame\build-LinesGameQt-Android_Qt_6_4_0_x86_64_debug_Clang_x86_64-Debug\android-build\build.gradle' line: 17

What can it be?

CodePudding user response：

Version 7.4 of the Android Gradle plugin doesn't exist, the latest stable version is 7.3.1, as you can see in the Google's Maven repo index. Other versions you could use are 7.4.0-beta02 and 8.0.0-alpha05.
