Support root project build.gradle OR Provide a detailed error of the issue

[jkasten2]

Issue

Currently if this plugin is applied to the root build.gradle instead of app/build.gradle the following error is shown.

Could not get unknown property 'android' for root project 'ProjectName' of type org.gradle.api.Project.

Solutions

Solutions below are in order of the best outcome

1. Solution - Apply plugin to all projects

If possible this plugin should apply itself to all Android projects

2. Solution - Provide a detailed error

We should provide a detailed message to move the plugin to their app/build.gradle. We should still cause the build to fail so the app developer knows that the plugin is not working.

@jkasten2 i am getting the following error even though /build.gradle in root does not have anything related to onesignal. But app/build.gradle has it.

app/build.gradle

.....
// PLUGIN GRADLE EXTENSIONS START
apply from: "../cordova-plugin-firebase-analytics/app-build.gradle"
apply from: "../onesignal-cordova-plugin/app-build-extras-onesignal.gradle"
// PLUGIN GRADLE EXTENSIONS END
......
dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
    // SUB-PROJECT DEPENDENCIES START
    implementation(project(path: ":CordovaLib"))

    compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.+"
    compile "com.onesignal:OneSignal:3.9.1"
    // SUB-PROJECT DEPENDENCIES END
}

@kodeine I recommend making sure you have the latest Cordova version 8.0.0 and the project is also using Cordova android@7.0.0 or newer.

Please open a new issue on OneSignal-Cordova-SDK/issues if you are still seeing an issue.

hi @jkasten2 is there any update about this? because i got the same issues here :)

[jkasten2]

@rendy14s Can you add apply plugin: 'com.onesignal.androidsdk.onesignal-gradle-plugin' to your app/build.gradle instead of your root build.gradle per these instructions?

@jkasten2 can not, i have some error like you.
Could not get unknown property 'android' for root project 'ProjectName' of type org.gradle.api.Project.

@rendy14s I am not sure I understand. What blocks you from being able to modify your app/build.gradle? Note that app is the default for Android projects, you could have a different name or multiple if modified this.

Can you provide more detail on your project such as if is using something like Flutter, React Native, or a completely native Android project?
