Hii,
This report points to work done in Week 11 [Aug 10 - Aug 17]. Here's a quick update: It was quite a hectic week :) Forgot to mention last time, I finally submitted my project talk to the outreach team :D Most of the errors of kotlin-Gradle-plugin are resolved. It was achieved by editing the source and backporting changes from Gradle (4.7, 4.9, and 5.0 as required). [1] The backported modules are as follows: - ComponentWithCoordinates - DependencyConstraint - CommandLineArgumentProvider - FeaturePreviews - TaskProvider - NamedDomainObjectProvider - capabilities Out of many, only these errors are left to be worked on. e: /home/samyak/kotlin/master/kotlin-1.3.30/libraries/tools/kotlin-gradle-plugin/src/main/kotlin/org/jetbrains/kotlin/gradle/internal/kapt/Kapt3KotlinGradleSubplugin.kt: (302, 38): Type inference failed: Not enough information to infer parameter T in fun <T> emptyList(): List<T> Please specify it explicitly. e: /home/samyak/kotlin/master/kotlin-1.3.30/libraries/tools/kotlin-gradle-plugin/src/main/kotlin/org/jetbrains/kotlin/gradle/internal/kapt/Kapt3KotlinGradleSubplugin.kt: (309, 43): Unresolved reference: it e: /home/samyak/kotlin/master/kotlin-1.3.30/libraries/tools/kotlin-gradle-plugin/src/main/kotlin/org/jetbrains/kotlin/gradle/plugin/KotlinPlugin.kt: (668, 20): Unresolved reference: Android25ProjectHandler e: /home/samyak/kotlin/master/kotlin-1.3.30/libraries/tools/kotlin-gradle-plugin/src/main/kotlin/org/jetbrains/kotlin/gradle/plugin/TaskProviderHolder.kt: (25, 59): Unresolved reference: register Why are these not resolved? Because the above-pointed errors point to circular dependencies of com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0. This weekend I tried patching out and wrote some custom functions as per the old documentation but the android-gradle-plugin is pretty obsolete in terms of kotlin requirement. But as suggested on the channel, I'll try to remove the android constraints and try to make this work!
