What???
GRADLE
Gradle is a project automation tool used for Android Studio as build system
and dependency manager.
Cool, but what is a dependency???
Understand how what you know as a library, whether a jar file or a project
marked as ‘is library’. If you project need external sources, it’s a dependency.
Without it...
• We search on google for a jar file, download and put it on libs folder.
• Push the jar files to our remote repository, making it grow up.
• Have some painkiller when us taken a project that use a old jar version (what
we don’t know) and when we put the latest jar version, it broken.

Objetivo
GRADLE
With it!!!
• We just need to indicate the package of the dependence we want.
• We can specify the dependency version or ‘+’ for latest version.
• Gradle search the dependency, download and configure your project to use it.
• With scripted build process, we can customize to add new features.
• Build variants make easy to configure an Internal, Demo, Free, Paid build.
• Export APKs with the version number in the filename
• Run a script when your APK is exported like automatically upload the APK to
TestFlight for internal testing.
After hate it, you will love it!
