com.huawei.agconnect plugin not found

Question

So I'm trying to add AppGallery connect gradle plugin to my android project using new Kotlin DSL syntax. But I'm getting error like this:

org.gradle.internal.exceptions.LocationAwareException: Build file 'D:\#KERJAAN\devbase\sample\build.gradle.kts' line: 3
Plugin [id: 'com.huawei.agconnect', version: '1.6.3.300'] was not found in any of the following sources:
- Gradle Core Plugins (plugin is not in 'org.gradle' namespace)
- Plugin Repositories (could not resolve plugin artifact 'com.huawei.agconnect:com.huawei.agconnect.gradle.plugin:1.6.3.300')
  Searched in the following repositories:
    Gradle Central Plugin Repository
    Google
    MavenRepo
    maven(https://developer.huawei.com/repo/)

What i did was adding repository for plugin like this in settings.gradle.kts:

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        gradlePluginPortal()
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        maven { setUrl("https://developer.huawei.com/repo/") }
    }
}

And adding the plugin like this in app's build.gradle.kts:

plugins {
   id("com.huawei.agconnect") version "1.6.3.300"
}

Interestingly, It works if using classpath from the root build.gradle.kts. Does anyone know why?

Answer 1

Huawei has released version 1.9.1.300 of their SDK/plugin, which now fortunately supports Gradle 8.0

1.9.1.300
2023-07-04
Modified the SDK to make it compatible with Android Gradle 8.0.

Here's a link. It still doesn't work out of the box with the current Android Studio, but at least negates the need for a resolution strategy (@Martin Zeitler thanks, your answer really helped a while back). Here's some sample code for anyone interested:

build.gradle Project

buildscript
{
   repositories
    {
     maven {url = uri("https://developer.huawei.com/repo/") }
    }
   dependencies
    {
      classpath('com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.1.1')
      classpath("com.huawei.agconnect:agcp:1.9.1.300")
    }
}
plugins 
{
  id 'com.android.application' version '8.1.1' apply false
  id 'com.android.library' version '8.1.1' apply false
}

build.gradle :app

plugins 
{
  id 'com.android.application'
  id 'com.huawei.agconnect'
}
android
{
 ...
}
dependencies 
{
  implementation 'com.huawei.agconnect:agconnect-core:1.9.1.300'
}

settings.gradle Project

pluginManagement {
repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url 'https://developer.huawei.com/repo/' }
    gradlePluginPortal()
 }
}
dependencyResolutionManagement {
repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url 'https://developer.huawei.com/repo/' }
 }
}
rootProject.name = "SomeProject"
include ':app'

Answer 2

The correct (easiest and official) solution is like @SurePing already mentioned. It is not the "old way", it is the recommended way in the Gradle documentation

The agcp plugin needs the com.android.tools.build.gradle, add this to the top level build.gradle.kts file:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {url = uri("https://developer.huawei.com/repo/") }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.1.0")
        classpath("com.huawei.agconnect:agcp:1.9.0.300")
    }
}

Answer 3

Could not resolve com.huawei.agconnect:agcp:1.6.1.300

if you have this error while building apk or bundle then change the path from

com.huawei.agconnect:agcp:1.6.1.300

to

com.huawei.agconnect:agcp:1.6.5.300

it works for me

Answer 4

Any Gradle plugin (this is not AGC specific at all) can only be loaded at the root project level, and then usually be applied on the module level. I've just tried to remove the buildscript block (alike in the question), which indeed leads to:

Plugin [id: 'com.huawei.agconnect', version: '1.7.3.302', apply: false] was not found in any of the following sources:
maven(https://developer.huawei.com/repo/)

Plugin Repositories (could not resolve plugin artifact 'com.huawei.agconnect:com.huawei.agconnect.gradle.plugin:1.7.3.302')

The plugin dependency won't resolve, while the pluginManagement keeps adding .gradle.plugin. If the repository would know about the full and not only the shorthanded name agcp, this should work out of the box (that's actually the default expected package name, unless changing it):

com.huawei.agconnect:com.huawei.agconnect.gradle.plugin:1.7.3.302

And this doesn't match:

com.huawei.agconnect:agcp:1.7.3.302

One can use pluginManagement.resolutionStrategy as a temporary workaround ...

The settings.gradle is being used to rewrite the wrongfully assumed package name:

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        gradlePluginPortal()
        mavenCentral()
        google()
        maven { url 'https://developer.huawei.com/repo/' }
    }
    plugins {}
    resolutionStrategy {
        eachPlugin {
            if (it.requested.id.getNamespace() == 'com.huawei.agconnect') {
                println ">> ${it.requested.id.id}"
                if (it.requested.id.id == 'com.huawei.agconnect.agcp') {
                    it.useModule('com.huawei.agconnect:agcp:1.7.3.302')
                }
                if (it.requested.id.id == 'com.huawei.agconnect.apms') {
                    it.useModule('com.huawei.agconnect:agconnect-apms-plugin:1.6.1.300')
                }
                println ">> ${it.target}"
            } else {
                println ">  ${it.target}"
            }
        }
    }
}

plugins have to be defined in build.gradle:

plugins {
    id "com.android.application" version "7.3.1" apply false
    id "com.android.library" version "7.3.1" apply false
    id "com.huawei.agconnect.agcp" version "1.7.3.302" apply false
    id "com.huawei.agconnect.apms" version "1.6.1.300" apply false
}

println will output the updated (fake) id to artifact mapping it.target:

[
    id: 'com.huawei.agconnect.agcp',
    version: '1.7.3.302',
    artifact: 'com.huawei.agconnect:agcp:1.7.3.302',
    apply: false
]

When applying it, one still needs to use the real id:

apply plugin: 'com.huawei.agconnect'

---

It is just that (as of version 1.7.3.302) APMSTransform has some check in place, which requires to explicitly put AGP on classpath. The buildscript block is "almost" obsolete, if not APMSTransform would wrongfully assume, that it is the only place where the Android Gradle plugin can be loaded.

/** Still required due to AGCP plugin. */
buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.3.1'
    }
}

It would also need to check for either of these plugins:

plugins {
    id "com.android.application" version "7.3.1" apply false
    id "com.android.library" version "7.3.1" apply false
}

For example:

project.getPluginManager().hasPlugin('com.android.application') || project.getPluginManager().hasPlugin('com.android.library')

---

In order to make this work flawlessly (without resolutionStrategy), this would require an updated check, in order not to get com.android.tools.build:gradle is no set in the build.gradle file and also an URL rewrite, which would handle the package name's .gradle.plugin suffix properly, so that com.huawei.agconnect.gradle.plugin and agcp would result in the same package download. resolutionStrategy indeed is the workaround and not the answer.

Answer 5

Don't use

plugins {
   id("com.huawei.agconnect") version "1.6.3.300"
}

PLS old way like use

dependencies {
    // 增加agcp插件配置，推荐您使用最新版本的agcp插件。
    classpath 'com.huawei.agconnect:agcp:1.6.3.300'
    // important add next line , huawei dependencies agp.
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.1.2'
}
