Plugin and compatible Gradle Version
Gradle Plugin

define Gradle Version

  • android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.6.1-bin.zip

define Build Plugin

buildscript {
    ...
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.4.2'
    }
}

the two versions (e.g. 7.6.1 and 7.4.2) must be compatible to build correctly
