summary

Five concrete fixes: keep Android Gradle Plugin and Gradle up to date (AGP 7 replaces compile with implementation), enable configuration cache in gradle.properties to reuse config data, centralize versions in a version catalog (libs.versions.toml) instead of dynamic + or * stars, disable Jetifier once no support libraries remain, create a dev flavor with resConfigs, avoid buildConfig generation and mixed Java/Kotlin, and move build logic into composite builds with convention plugins via includeBuild — yields noticeably fewer rebuilds and faster parallel/incremental builds.
