Gradle: Why the "Could not get unknown property 'com' for root project" error?

Gradle v4.10.2

I built a simple Gradle plugin project by following Writing Gradle Plugins tutorial, and I'm able to build and publish the project into our S3 Maven repo. I DO have the plugin identifier file in my buildSrc/src/main/resources/META-INF/gradle-plugins/com.zift.utilities.properties file with content

implementation-class=com.zift.utilities.ZiftVersionPlugin

Here's my simple code, taken directly from the tutorial

/some_path/zift-version-plugin/buildSrc/src/main/java/com/zift/utilities/ZiftVersionPlugin.java
package com.zift.utilities;

import org.gradle.api.Plugin;
import org.gradle.api.Project;

public class ZiftVersionPlugin implements Plugin<Project> {
    public void apply(Project project) {
        project.getTasks().create("setVersion", ZiftVersion.class, (task) -> {
            task.setProject(project);
        });
        project.getTasks().create("getVersion", ZiftVersion.class, (task) -> {
            task.setProject(project);
        });
    }
}

Now I'm trying to use the plugin via this simple project with this build.gradle file. (I have the variables defined in a gradle.properties file).

buildscript {
  repositories {
    maven {
      url 's3://' + s3_bucket
      credentials(AwsCredentials) {
        accessKey AWS_ACCESS_KEY
        secretKey AWS_SECRET_KEY
      }
    }
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath "com.zift.utilities:zift-version-plugin:0.0.1"
  }
}
apply plugin: com.zift.utilities

When I do a ./gradlew build, the plugin's jar file gets downloaded from our S3 Maven repo and stored locally in Gradle cache, but I get

$ ./gradlew build 

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Build file '/Users/me/git-repos/zift/zift-version-plugin-test/build.gradle' line: 16

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'zift-version-plugin-test'.
> Could not get unknown property 'com' for root project 'zift-version-plugin-test' of type org.gradle.api.Project.

What am I missing?

Here's the full stack trace if it helps

* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.GradleScriptException: A problem occurred evaluating root project 'zift-version-plugin-test'.

You need to either supply the actual plugin class or the plugin ID as a String. So try changing it to either apply plugin: com.zift.utilities.ZiftVersionPlugin or apply plugin: "com.zift.utilities". You could also use a plugins block like this: plugins { id "com.zift.utilities" }.

Also, you can get rid of some boiler plate code if you use the Gradle Plugin Development Plugin. For instance, it can create the com.zift.utilities.properties file for you.
