Plugin for Gradle 3.0

on YouTube ↗09m

" summary

Android Gradle Plugin 3.0 requires upgrading Gradle to 4.1 and claims large build wins — examples given: Gradle 2.14 ~2 minutes, 3.3 ~29 seconds, 3.0 ~6.4 seconds — plus enabled build cache and parallel builds and instant‑app output caching. Dependency configs change: implementation vs api (and compileOnly/runtimeOnly) alter compile/runtime visibility. Variant handling adds explicit flavor dimensions and language‑specific APK splits. PNG crunching behavior changes: debug skips crunching, release still crunches.
