I created a library in multiplatform in latest intellij. My intellj added the outdated gradle version settings.gradle.kts

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        google()
        gradlePluginPortal()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    resolutionStrategy {
        eachPlugin {
            if (requested.id.namespace == "com.android") {
                useModule("com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.2"). // How to update to latest version and what is the use of 4.1.2?
            }
        }
    }
}
rootProject.name = "xyz"

I commented above in my code. Can someone guide how can I update my gradle version to latest and what is the use of 4.1.2 that piece of code?

I tried to remove 4.1.2 below piece of code then I am getting issue

 resolutionStrategy {
     eachPlugin {
         if (requested.id.namespace == "com.android") {
             useModule("com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.2")
         }
     }
 }

4.1.2 is the version number. To find out what the latest version is, visit Google's Maven Repository. At the time of writing, the latest stable version is 7.2.0, so simply replace "4.1.2" with "7.2.0" and rebuild the project.

CodePudding user response：

4.1.2 is android gradle plugin version, it's not related to gradle version.

Android gradle plugin is shipped with Android Studio, if you wanna use latest version mentioned by @Egor, you have to use Android Studio.

IntelliJ IDEA supports them with a delay - the last supported version at the moment is 7.0.4, which works fine to me, the only problem you might have with it is the lack of support for the 32 target version of Android - but it's not required to upload the app and will work fine on 32 devices, also you can build release version in AS with newest plugin, and develop in IDEA, as to me it seems more performant in KMM projects.
