This project showcases different ways of writing backwards-compatible Gradle plugins. It accompanies a talk held at droidcon Berlin 2022, you can find the slides for this talk on Speaker Deck.

Shows how we can find out the version of a dependency (like the Android Gradle plugin) that has been resolved at runtime.

Shows how we can test our plugins against multiple Android Gradle plugin versions.

Shows how a dynamically typed language like Groovy can be used to write code that is compatible with multiple Android Gradle plugin versions.

Shows how we can set up a Gradle project to compile against multiple Android Gradle plugin versions, so we can write typesafe code that is compatible across multiple Android Gradle plugin versions.

Shows how reflection can be used to write code that is compatible with multiple Android Gradle plugin versions.

Shows how third-party dependencies can be repackaged and shipped with Gradle plugins to avoid clashes and version inconsistencies for users.
