Migrate to build.gradle.kts
summary
Migrate Gradle build scripts from Groovy to the Kotlin DSL incrementally by first using Gradle 5.0 + Kotlin DSL 1.0 and Android Gradle Plugin 3.3+, cleaning up Groovy, then renaming files one-by-one and fixing syntax differences (properties vs calls, task registration, buildTypes getByName/create). Move shared version constants into buildSrc Kotlin objects instead of ext, keep problematic plugins or scripts as apply-from Groovy files (e.g., Google Services, Fabric), and rely on IDE completion and error markers to guide fixes; the approach was applied successfully to a real app.
