| The Android Gradle plugin 3.3.0 requires Gradle 4.10 and higher, and includes the following updates: |
| <br><br> |
| <ul> |
| <li><b>Improved classpath dependency synchronization:</b> |
| <br> |
| When resolving dependencies on your runtime and compile time classpaths, the plugin attempts to automatically fix certain |
| downstream version conflicts for dependencies that appear across multiple classpaths. |
| <a href="https://d.android.com/r/studio-wna/3.3.0/classpath-sync"> |
| Learn more</a> |
| </li> |
| <li><b>Lazy task configuration:</b> |
| The plugin now uses Gradle’s |
| <a href="https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/task_configuration_avoidance.html#sec:old_vs_new_configuration_api_overview"> |
| new task configuration API</a>, which speeds up the configuration phase by not creating and configuring tasks that are not going |
| to be executed. |
| <a href="https://d.android.com/r/studio-wna/3.3.0/lazy-task-configuration"> |
| Learn more</a> |
| </li> |
| <li><b>Improved incremental Java compilation when using annotation processors:</b> |
| Faster build times by improving support for incremental Java compilation when using annotation processors. |

| Learn more</a> |
| </li> |
| <li><b>Better debug info for obsolete API:</b> |
| When the plugin detects that you're using API that's no longer supported, it |
| can now provide more detailed information to help you determine where that API is being |
| used. To see the additional info, you need to include the following in your |
| project's <code>gradle.properties</code> file. |
