Gradle and AGP versions to compile the project are unclear

[READ] Step 1: Are you in the right place?

Issues filed here should be about bugs in the code in this repository. If you have a general question, need help debugging, or fall into some other category use one of these other channels:

• For general technical questions, post a question on StackOverflow with the firebase tag.
• For general Firebase discussion, use the firebase-talk google group.
• For help troubleshooting your application that does not fall under one of the above categories, reach out to the personalized Firebase support channel.

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe your environment

• Android Studio version: 2021.2.1 Patch 2
• Firebase Component: Perf
• Component version: Latest

[REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

Steps to reproduce:

For local development contributions, the project docs do not specify Gradle or AGP versions to compile the project with. The project doesn't specify AGP version in local gradle files either. Users who wish to compile this project must search the repo for issues and PRs to see what Gradle versions the project calls for.

Relevant Code:

Propose adding to the docs: under: CONTRIBUTING

This project should be compiled with:
Android Gradle Plugin: 4.2.2
Gradle: 6.5.1

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

Hi @shamilovtim, thanks for reporting. I'll let our engineering team know about this and see what we can do here.

[argzdev]

I've consulted with our engineer, and it looks like Firebase-Performance works with the latest stable AGP and Gradle version. I'll try and check if we can include this in our README.md. That being said, I'll close this issue for now.

Feel free to ask this to be reopened if you think this is a mistake, or if you think further action needs to be done. Thanks!

Hey, yeah that's not the case. To be clear I'm referring to compiling this project not bringing Firebase Perf into a project as an end user.

Thanks for the update, @shamilovtim. I have AGP 7.2.2 and Gradle version 7.3.3. I tried to compile and assemble firebase-android-sdk via gradle firebase-perf:assemble, this seems to work fine. Is there any specific error you're encountering when compiling the project with the latest stable version of AGP and Gradle? I might be missing something.

Awesome let me try those. I followed the docs with latest AGP/Gradle and getting Gradle errors.

@shamilovtim We are using:

• AGP 7.2.2: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-android-sdk/blob/4f24be3d2ac6481cb5c3995b4abcf5361894b1c7/buildSrc/build.gradle.kts#L59
• Gradle 7.3.3: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-android-sdk/blob/4f24be3d2ac6481cb5c3995b4abcf5361894b1c7/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties#L3

Also note that you'll need Java 11: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-android-sdk/blob/4f24be3d2ac6481cb5c3995b4abcf5361894b1c7/build.gradle#L72-L74

I'll check if we can get this documented in the repo itself as you suggested.

I'd be happy to help if you face any gradle errors, please post the stacktrace if it happens.

Hey @shamilovtim. We need more information to resolve this issue but there hasn't been an update in 5 weekdays. I'm marking the issue as stale and if there are no new updates in the next 5 days I will close it automatically.

If you have more information that will help us get to the bottom of this, just add a comment!

[shamilovtim]

Thank you guys for responding. I think I just had a weird hiccup in Android Studio because after re-importing the project all over again, all of the Gradle versions inferred automatically and nothing manual was actually needed out of me.
