If you encounter the error message in Android Studio that reads:
“The project is using an incompatible version (AGP X.X.X) of the Android Gradle plugin. Latest supported version is AGP X.X.X,”
it means that your project’s Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) version is not compatible with your current version of Android Studio. This often occurs after project updates or when working with code using newer Gradle features. The simplest way to resolve this issue is to update Android Studio to the latest version. This ensures that your development environment supports the latest Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) versions:
A) Check Your Current Android Studio Version
• Open Android Studio.
• Go to Help > About (or Android Studio > About Android Studio on macOS).
• Note your current version to determine if an upgrade is needed.
B) Update Android Studio
• In Android Studio, go to Help > Check for Updates (or Android Studio > Check for Updates on macOS).
• If an update is available, follow the prompts to install the latest version.
C) Sync Your Project with Gradle Files
• Once updated, reopen your project.
• Go to File > Sync Project with Gradle Files to ensure everything is up-to-date.
D) Verify Compatibility
After updating, ensure the Gradle plugin version specified in your build.gradle file is compatible with your new version of Android Studio. If necessary, update the AGP version in your build.gradle file to match the supported versions listed in the Android Studio documentation.
If you still encounter compatibility issues, consider visiting Android’s AGP Compatibility Table to ensure your AGP version is aligned with your Android Studio version, but if you continue to experience problems, feel free to reach out to our WebViewGold support team or consult the Android Developer community forums. Happy coding!
