Uresolved reference 'BuildConfig'.:26

[Alex-7]

When I try to build the project in the very beginning, it gives the error: Uresolved reference 'BuildConfig'.:26

It seems to concern the line 26 of MainAktivity.kt

import com.google.firebase.codelab.friendlychat.BuildConfig

@Alex-7 This is due to the fact that Android Gradle Plugin v8.0 stopped generating the BuildConfig class.

You can fix this by adding the following line to gradle.properties:

android.defaults.buildfeatures.buildconfig=true

That's a workaround, so I'll keep this issue open until we can update the repo to continue working without the workaround.

Thank you!
