Developing Gradle API

on YouTube ↗44m

" summary

A Gradle plugin is built in Groovy that automates Android build/versioning and ties builds to Jira and TeamCity: Jira status changes trigger version increments, git tags store semantic versions, TeamCity picks up tagged commits and Jira issues get the resulting version. The author extends an existing plugin to increment semantic versions, uses Gradle API hooks to handle init/config/execution phases and task wiring (finalizedBy, mustRunAfter), adds up‑to‑date checks and tests, and reports the workflow works and removes manual steps.
