A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

I updated to AS Canary 14 (no release notes?) and it prompted me to upgrade the android gradle plugin AND move to gradle 7.0 RC 1.

Is that mandatory? Is anyone using gradle 7 RC 1 and any risks?

I had to deal with this yesterday. I'm fine with RC-2. But something has changed if you are using version catalog. You have to explicitly enable the feature in settings.gradle file and the `[plugins]` section in toml file has been removed

&gt;  using version catalog.
No idea what that is :smile:

Only issue I have so far is that previews completely stopped working. Still hoping someone from the compose team can chime in if Gradle 7 is necessary or not. Thanks!

&gt; No idea what that is

Oh. Not using that! Cool. So it seems like I didn't even have to update my build files at all. That's pretty cool. :thumbsup:

You can easily verify that by using AGP alpha14 and an earlier Gradle version, which will give you an error `Minimum supported Gradle version is 7.0-rc-1. Current version is 6.8.3.`.
