I recently migrated a multimodule project from Groovy to Kotlin DSL and also used convention plugins for sharing configurations. I must say these custom gradle plugins made my work alot easier.

For simplify, you can also set kotlin jvmToolchain(18) and remove compileOption and jvmTarget in kotlin branch, much cleaner for me

This is so helpful - One Question though, what is the difference between Dependencies and Plugins?

I will add this things to my current app which already migrate to Kotlin DSL, thanks for sharing.

Hello Philipp, I have a question regarding multi-modules, especially when dealing with more than 30 features. How do we handle the management of having this many build.gradle.kts files, and what are the drawbacks, particularly when examining the build variants, which may result in a substantial list?

Hello @Phillip how would you increment version name or number constants in fastlane or some CICD with this custom implementation

@Philipp, What is the difference between kotlin library and android library? When to use one or the other? That option is available when you are going to add a module to a project.

Will this work on a groovy version of gradle? Or should I migrate it to kotlin first?

[anuragverma]

Hi @Philipp, Very nice and detailed video. Can you tell me how the module can apply App level BuildConfig ?
