Hello! I need your help before I go nuts. I have quite severa problems. One is with gradle. When I do the cordova requirements, I get C:\pathto\Gradle\gradle-6.6.1\bin\gradle.BAT. So I guess my gradle version is 6.6.1. In my project structure, I get Android gradle plugin version 7.0.1 and gradle version 7.0.2 And in my upgrade assistant on android studio, it goes down to 4.2.2 ... I don't get it. I have no idea how to solve this because right now, when I try to build, I have the "cannot find method compile()" error. Of course I don't have compile anymore as it is implementation !

Second problem is that I have an error in my cordova.gradle file import io.github.g00fy2.versioncompare.Version cannot resolve symbol 'io'. Which is a huge problem because now the versions in this file are not aknowledged and I can't build my app.

compileSdkVersion cordovaConfig.SDK_VERSION this gets an error. to the system, cordovaConfig.SDK_VERSION just doesn't exist. You must think I am crazy, especially with the gradle mess, but I swear I don't know what happened xD

A typical setup for Gradle is that you have system install (in your case, v 6.6.1) but that version isn't actually used for the overall build. A gradle project uses Gradle to download a specific version of Gradle to be used for that local project, this is called the gradle wrapper. So cordova will use gradle to install a local gradle wrapper at a specific version.

compile used to be an instruction in Gradle but it's been deprecated for some time now and recently have been completely removed. Usually simply replacing compilewith implementation is sufficient.

> cordovaConfig.SDK_VERSION just doesn't exist. This suggests that you have something else going on. The cordova config is provided by a JSON file which contains several variables, it should be generated by a defaults file, but manipulated based on preferences inside config.xml. At this point I'd probably suggest starting from scratch and work from there. Remove the platform via cordova platform remove android, and ensure that platforms/android doesn't actually exists. Then re-add it using cordova platform add android@11 (11 is the latest version, but you could replace it with another version if you're aren't ready to use 11 yet)

hello! thank your for your answer 🙂 . I agree with the compile element, I did change to implementation, but now, when I try to build, i have this error Caused by: org.gradle.internal.metaobject.AbstractDynamicObject$CustomMessageMissingMethodException: Could not find method compile() for arguments [me.leolin:ShortcutBadger:1.1.22@aar] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.

Seems like something is still using compile for the me.leolin:ShortcutBadger dependency

there was indeed. I searched for it earlier but did not find it. I may have missed something. Thank you for that!

about second problems, I did remove/put back the platform, but it still does it. The build is done successfully though
