After updating to AGP, Xcode is failing to build my project because gradle is unable to read JAVA_HOME variable. It seems like Xcode doesn’t source any shell profile during its build process causing JAVA_HOME to resolve to null. I checked this by adding this to my `build.gradle`:

println("JAVA_HOME = ${System.getenv("JAVA_HOME")}")

Folks who’re using AGP 7.0, have any of you run into this before?

I wish there was a way to pickup user shell instead of having to define variables for xcode separately.

Btw, is there any advantage of creating an environment.plist over setting org.gradle.java.home in ~/.gradle/ gradle.propeties?

I think both work.

I use gradle for a lot of different projects so I don't like putting too many things in my ~/.gradle/gradle.properties but both should work

Since that environment.plist thingie seems capable of running arbitrary commands, it should be possible (albeit certainly not fun...) to define JAVA_HOME in a separate file that is sourced both from .bash_profile and environment.plpist

good point that that would work with all apps and not just gradlew
