I am attempting to import a ksp dependency, but when I do ksp() it shows up as an unresolved reference. In an attempt to add ksp to my project, I followed the quickstart guide here https://kotlinlang.org/docs/ksp-quickstart.html but when I sync gradle I get a significant amount of errors. Am I doing something wrong?

Main error:

org.gradle.internal.exceptions.LocationAwareException: Build file '/Users/zach.calman/Projects/step-out-android/build.gradle.kts' line: 2
Plugin [id: 'com.android.application', version: '7.2.2', apply: false] was not found in any of the following sources:

android plugins are loaded from Google maven repo: google() in Gradle

I am loading my plugins with the google() maven repo

I followed the playground example, here is what my settings.gradle looks like (mostly)

pluginManagement {
    val kspVersion: String by settings
    val kotlinVersion: String by settings

    plugins {
        id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.android") version kotlinVersion apply false
        id("com.google.devtools.ksp") version kspVersion
        kotlin("jvm") version kotlinVersion
    }
    repositories {
        gradlePluginPortal()
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

I am still unable to use add kotlin("jvm") to any modules or use ksp() dependencies

[Zach]

Okay, I was able to resolve it by adding the plugin com.google.devtools.ksp to my module-level build.gradle. kotlin("jvm") was not required.

The pluginManagement { plugins { ... } } block just defines default versions for plugins if they are used in the build. apply false there is useless.

Good to know, thanks
