Do we know what version of intellij is supposed to support Android Gradle Plugin 7+?

I think latest EAP does?

Works for me with

IntelliJ IDEA 2021.3.1 Preview (Community Edition)
Build #IC-213.6461.21, built on December 15, 2021

I agree the situation isn't ideal and a page that says what version is compatible with what would be nice

[mbonnin]

Ideally a single-page changelog where one can grep for "android" or "agp" ?

You mean https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/whatsnew/#other?

BTW 2021.3

[mbonnin]

I'd like a single text-only page with all versions on that same page

IntelliJ IDEA now supports Android Studio Arctic Fox, 2020.3.1

That's super confusing... IDEA supports AGP but Android Studio is an IDE so it doesn't make much sense that an IDE is supporting another one

[hfhbd]

Yep, that's true... All the names are stupid and confusing. This would be nice: "IntelliJ IDEA 2021.3 now supports AGP 7.0.X"

[hfhbd]

But on the other hand, in theory/practice, IDEA does not care, but AGP now supports IDEA 2021.3... See https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-275522

[hfhbd]

And I don't understand this problems with AGP and Android Studio at all. Why the heck does Google need an own IDE based on outdated version, rather providing only the plugin with the latest IDEA support?...
