Doesn't find Android extension

[dalewking]

Describe the bug
Applying the plugin to an Android project fails with:

Android extension not found. Make sure the Android plugin is applied

I am using AGP 7.0.3 and Gradle 7.2 and 1.8.2 of Gordon (because it is closest to those versions, but it fails for 1.8.0 and 1.8.5 as well.

The only thing I can think off hand is the order you apply plugins - make sure the Android plugin is applied before the Gordon plugin in your buildscript. If that's already the case, I'm not sure what would be causing this. If you paste your whole buildscript, I might be able to help debug. You could also try running the Gordon Gradle task with --stacktrace to see exactly where that error is coming from.

So I discovered that error message I reported is actually coming from another plugin, but due to this plugin not applying. The relevant part of the stack trace is:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Gordon plugin must be applied after applying the application, library, or dynamic-feature Android plugin
        at com.banno.gordon.GordonPlugin.apply(GordonPlugin.kt:27)
        at com.banno.gordon.GordonPlugin.apply(GordonPlugin.kt:23)

But my plugins block looks like this:

plugins {
    id("com.android.application")
    kotlin("android")
// other plugins
     id("com.banno.gordon")
}

That's odd. Does the same thing happen if you apply Gordon directly after the Android plugin, before the others?

[dalewking]

So I have determined that if I include gordon using buildscript.dependencies.classpath entry in my top level build.gradle.kts file, then it works. If I try to instead specify the version in a pluginManagement.plugins entry in my settings.gradle.kts file then that is when it doesn't work
