Hi! I see similar questions, but I did not quite find my answer, so here we go again. I converted our gradle scripts to kotlin, extracting common version constants and logic to

buildSrc

. Now (hopefully) only last thing remains. In the

buildSrc/build.gradle.kts

we have:

dependencies {
    implementation("com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.1")
}

Then in root project’s

build.gradle.kts

we have:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        ...
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.1")
        ...
    }
}

Is there a way so that the version

3.4.1

would be specified only in single place? Thanks for any tips.

Do you actually need

classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.1")

in your root gradle file ? I've read somewhere that dependencies of

buildSrc

are applied to other build scripts.

As Martin said, you don’t need it in

buildscript.classpath

, it’s already in classpath

I tried that, but then the build failed. I’ll post the failure once I have a chance to switch back to my experimental branch.

How do you apply the plugin? Looks that some other dependency somehow add this dependency. Anyway, it should work, maybe you could reproduce it on some sample

Ok, so I tried stripping everything down and found out another plugin was causing the version 3.2.1. For the record, it was https://github.com/timfreiheit/ResourcePlaceholdersPlugin, so even when I removed my dependency on 3.4.1 from buildscripts classpath, this one would include its own on 3.2.1
