Plugin for Gradle 3.0

The Android Plugin for Gradle 3.0.0 is a major upgrade that brings significant performance improvements to large multi-module projects. In order to bring about these improvements, there are some breaking changes in the plugin behavior, DSL, and APIs.

3. Plugin for Gradle 3.0.0 Chintan Rathod
4. Android 3.0
5. Update Gradle Plugin version Required Gradle version 2.0.0 - 2.1.2 2.10 - 2.13 2.1.3 - 2.2.3 2.14.1+ 2.3.0+ 3.3+ 3.0.0+ 4.1+
6. Optimization - Faster incremental build speed due to per-class dexing
7. Speed Android plugin version + Gradle version Android plugin 2.2.0 + Gradle 2.14.1 Android plugin 2.3.0 + Gradle 3.3 Android plugin 3.0.0 + Gradle 4.1 1-line Java change (implementation change) ~2 mins 15 s ~29 s ~6.4 s
8. Optimization - Faster incremental build speed due to per-class dexing - Gradle's new dependency configurations: implementation, api, compileOnly, and runtimeOnly
9. Dependency configurations Deprecated Configurations New configurations compile Implementation api compile compileOnly provided runtimeOnly apk
10. Optimization - Faster incremental build speed due to per-class dexing - Gradle's new dependency configurations: implementation, api, compileOnly, and runtimeOnly - Better parallelism for multi-module projects
11. Optimization - Faster incremental build speed due to per-class dexing - Gradle's new dependency configurations: implementation, api, compileOnly, and runtimeOnly - Better parallelism for multi-module projects - Improved build speeds (cached outputs)
12. New Features - Variant-aware dependency management
13. Flavor dimensions flavorDimensions "api", "mode" productFlavors { demo { dimension "mode" applicationIdSuffix ".demo" versionNameSuffix "-demo" } full { dimension "mode" applicationIdSuffix ".full" versionNameSuffix "-full" } minApi24 { dimension "api" minSdkVersion 24 versionCode 30000 + android.defaultConfig.versionCode versionNameSuffix "-minApi24" } minApi21 { dimension "api" minSdkVersion 21 versionCode 10000 + android.defaultConfig.versionCode versionNameSuffix "-minApi21" } }
14. Flavor dimensions
15. New Features - Variant-aware dependency management - Jack is now deprecated and no longer required - Support for language-specific APKs
16. Behavioral Changes - You no longer need to specify a version for the build tools - Enable PNG crunching in the buildTypes block
17. Behavioral Changes - You no longer need to specify a version for the build tools - Enable PNG crunching in the buildTypes block android { buildTypes { release { // Disables PNG crunching for the release build type. crunchPngs false } } }
18. Thanks!
