Cannot apply plugin into Android multi module project

I cannot find a way to apply this plugin into my Android project. I tried both approaches:

plugins {
    id "org.jlleitschuh.gradle.ktlint" version "6.3.0"
}

and

buildscript {
  repositories {
    maven {
      url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
    }
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath "gradle.plugin.org.jlleitschuh.gradle:ktlint-gradle:6.3.0"
  }
}

apply plugin: "org.jlleitschuh.gradle.ktlint"

Also I tried to apply it in multiple gradle files (root file and module files). I keep getting following error:

Unable to load class 'org.gradle.api.provider.SetProperty'.
Possible causes for this unexpected error include:<ul><li>Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)
Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)</li><li>The state of a Gradle build process (daemon) may be corrupt. Stopping all Gradle daemons may solve this problem.
Stop Gradle build processes (requires restart)</li><li>Your project may be using a third-party plugin which is not compatible with the other plugins in the project or the version of Gradle requested by the project.</li></ul>In the case of corrupt Gradle processes, you can also try closing the IDE and then killing all Java processes.

Any of solutions proposed by error didn’t help in any way.

Gradle wrapper version is 4.4 and gradle plugin version is 3.0.1. I am willing to provide any further required information.

Ah, found the problem - https://docs.gradle.org/current/javadoc/org/gradle/api/provider/SetProperty.html - it is only available since Gradle 4.5

Possible solutions:

• Update Android plugin to 3.2 and Gradle to 4.5 version
• Use older ktlint-gradle version 5.1.0 - this should work in your setup

@JLLeitschuh I am tending not to fix this, but update minimal supported Gradle version. Also really need to do #148 that will run against lower supported and latest released Gradle versions to avoid such issues in the future.

Interesting stacktrace, I don’t see anything related to ktlint-gradle.

In versions 6.x.x we removed usages of afterEvaluate {} and this line java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.android.ide.common.res2.ResourceSet related to android plugin itself.
