Gradle is issuing an error “Could not create plugin of type ‘AppPlugin'”

May 9, 2023 by Tarik

Google made a mistake with version 0.7.2 of the Gradle plugin:

Note: 0.7.2 requires Java7. This is a mistake. Use 0.7.3 instead.

Release 0.7.3 re-enables Java6 support. Declaring Gradle 0.7.3 in my build files does indeed resolve this for me.

No one is perfect 🙂
