I try to go from com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.8.2 to 8.12.2 . Gradle version is 9.0.0-rc-3

In my build.gradel, i’ve :

```gradle
 plugins {
        id 'com.android.application' version '8.12.2' apply false
        id 'com.android.library' version '8.12.2' apply false
        id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '2.2.10' apply false
    }

dependencies {

        google()
        mavenCentral()
        mavenLocal()
        maven {
            url "https://maven.java.net/content/groups/public/"
        }
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }

        maven {
            url "https://repo.itextsupport.com/android"
        }
    }

application {
    mainClass = 'com.prod.gfer94'

```

I’ve an error:

```plaintext

The error is quite clear, isn’t it?  
It tells you that you only have “Gradle Central Plugin Repository” as plugin repository and that does not contain the AGP.  
You need to add `google()` or any other repository that provides the AGP as plugin repository in your settings script.
