Compatibility
AGP Upgrade Assistant post-upgrade report and rollback functionality
The AGP Upgrade Assistant now includes a post-upgrade report. This report
describes the steps that were completed and if the upgrade was successful or
unsuccessful. It also includes an action to revert changes that were made by
the upgrade assistant, if there are issues building or testing the project
after the upgrade.
Project import runs in parallel
The Studio IDE now imports projects in parallel when you use Gradle 7.4.2 or
higher and Android Gradle plugin 7.2.0 or higher. Specifically, when Android
Studio triggers a Gradle sync, the information that describes projects included
in your build is created in parallel. This usually speeds up the syncing
process, especially for larger projects. Benchmarks show that the time it takes
to build Gradle models for a very large project (with 3,500 Gradle subprojects)
is reduced by 50%, from 10 minutes to 5 minutes.
Android Gradle plugin targets JVM 11 bytecode
Starting with Android Gradle plugin 7.4.0-alpha04, AGP ships wth JVM 11
bytecode. This means that if you compile against AGP, or write custom Lint
checks, you need to start targeting JVM 11 bytecode. One of the ways to do this
is to include the following in your module-level build.gradle file:
sourceCompatibility = "11"
targetCompatibility = "11"
