Publish version 7.1.0 to gradle plugin repository

[LanShunoda]

I see that the latest version of newrelic android agent is 7.1.0 but gradle plugin repository contains only 7.0.0.
Please publish latest version of newrelic android agent to gradle plugin repository(https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/com.newrelic.agent.android).

@LanShunoda The New Relic plugin on the Gradle Plugin Portal is still in the Proof of Concept stage and is not fully functional. We need to make some changes on our end to make it work from the Gradle Plugin Portal. Currently, using the plugin from the Gradle Plugin Portal is not working as expected. Therefore, we recommend using the classpath method to integrate the New Relic plugin.

@LanShunoda A suggested workaround to use the plugins closure:

The Android agent plugin is not yet published to the Gradle Plugin Portal (we plan on doing this later this year), so until this is done you will have to provide the classpath to the plugin either through the buildscript DSL (as documented), or in settings.gradle(.kts) through the pluginManagement closure:

pluginManagement {
  var nr_version = "7.1.+"

  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
  }
  resolutionStrategy {
    eachPlugin {
      if (requested.id.id.startsWith("newrelic")) {
        useModule("com.newrelic.agent.android:agent-gradle-plugin:${nr_version}")
      }
    }
  }

  // optiional: define here or root level build
  plugins {
    id("newrelic") version "${nr_version}"
  }
}

Then, the New Relic plugin can be declared in either pluginManagement (above), or the project level gradle build file:

pluginManagement {
  var nr_version = "7.+"

  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
  }
  resolutionStrategy {
    eachPlugin {
      if (requested.id.id.startsWith("newrelic")) {
        useModule("com.newrelic.agent.android:agent-gradle-plugin:${nr_version}")
      }
    }
  }

  // optiional: define here or root level build
  plugins {
    id("newrelic") version "${nr_version}"
  }
}

plugins {
  id("com.android.application") version "8.1.+ apply false
  id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.android") version "1.8.0" apply false
  id("newrelic") version "<version>" apply false
}

And then applied in the app-level build file with:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
plugins {
    id("com.android.application")
    id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.android")
    id("newrelic")
}
