- New:
-
- Uses Gradle 3.3, which includes performance improvements and
new features. For more details, see the
Gradle release notes.
- Build cache: stores certain outputs that the Android
plugin generates when building your project (such as unpackaged
AARs and pre-dexed remote dependencies). Your clean builds are
much faster while using the cache because the build system can
simply reuse those cached files during subsequent builds, instead
of recreating them. Projects using Android plugin 2.3.0 and higher use
the build cache by default. To learn more, read
Improve Build Speed with
Build Cache.
- Includes a
cleanBuildCache
task that
clears
the build cache.
- If you are using the experimental version of build cache
(included in earlier versions of the plugin), you should
update your plugin to the
latest version.
