Gradle and AGP versions to compile the project are unclear

[READ] Step 1: Are you in the right place?

Issues filed here should be about bugs in the code in this repository. If you have a general question, need help debugging, or fall into some other category use one of these other channels:

• For general technical questions, post a question on StackOverflow with the firebase tag.
• For general Firebase discussion, use the firebase-talk google group.
• For help troubleshooting your application that does not fall under one of the above categories, reach out to the personalized Firebase support channel.

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe your environment

• Android Studio version: 2021.2.1 Patch 2
• Firebase Component: Perf
• Component version: Latest

[REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

Steps to reproduce:

For local development contributions, the project docs do not specify Gradle or AGP versions to compile the project with. The project doesn’t specify AGP version in local gradle files either. Users who wish to compile this project must search the repo for issues and PRs to see what Gradle versions the project calls for.

Relevant Code:

Propose adding to the docs: under: CONTRIBUTING

This project should be compiled with:
Android Gradle Plugin: 4.2.2
Gradle: 6.5.1

Thank you guys for responding. I think I just had a weird hiccup in Android Studio because after re-importing the project all over again, all of the Gradle versions inferred automatically and nothing manual was actually needed out of me.

@shamilovtim We are using:

• AGP 7.2.2: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-android-sdk/blob/4f24be3d2ac6481cb5c3995b4abcf5361894b1c7/buildSrc/build.gradle.kts#L59
• Gradle 7.3.3: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-android-sdk/blob/4f24be3d2ac6481cb5c3995b4abcf5361894b1c7/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties#L3

Also note that you’ll need Java 11: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-android-sdk/blob/4f24be3d2ac6481cb5c3995b4abcf5361894b1c7/build.gradle#L72-L74

I’ll check if we can get this documented in the repo itself as you suggested.

I’d be happy to help if you face any gradle errors, please post the stacktrace if it happens.
