Not exactly architecture, but how do you manage versions of your dependencies? So far I like this approach from google repository: https://github.com/googlesamples/android-architecture-components/blob/master/GithubBrowserSample/versions.gradle But doing it manually is a donkey work. Also, seems like update hints are lost. And on the top of it, it's hard to believe that 8 years later gradle plugin still can't fucking navigate to a variable definition. Did you stumble upon a plugin that is able to automate it by any chance?

use Kotlin DSL - and you will able to navigate to definition
