    Project mention: Xcode and Gradle: Two worlds, one infrastructure | dev.to | 2026-10-07

    Gradle is Android's build system, and more broadly, the dominant build system in the JVM ecosystem. If you have never used it: think of it as a programmable build system where builds are defined in Kotlin or Groovy scripts, and the system is designed from the ground up to be extended. It exposes a rich plugin API where you can hook into nearly every phase of the build lifecycle. You implement an interface, register your plugin, and Gradle calls you at the right time. Want to intercept cache operations? Implement BuildCacheService. Want to observe every task as it finishes? Register an OperationCompletionListener. Want test results as they happen? Add a TestListener. The contracts are well-defined, documented, and stable.
