What action should be taken if Gradle cannot find a specified version of the Dynatrace Android Gradle plugin?

The action of checking for the correct version number is essential because Gradle relies on specific version identifiers to fetch the appropriate plugin. If the specified version of the Dynatrace Android Gradle plugin is not available in the repositories configured in your build setup, Gradle will not be able to locate and download it. Ensuring that you are using the correct version number involves verifying it against the official Dynatrace documentation or repository to confirm that the version you are attempting to use is indeed published and available.

Other actions, such as specifying a different repository or clearing the Gradle cache, may help in specific scenarios, such as when there are repository access issues or corruption in the cached files, respectively. Additionally, ensuring that the Java version is compatible is important for the overall build process; however, these do not address the immediate issue of a specific plugin version being unavailable. Focusing on the correct version number directly targets the root of the problem when Gradle cannot find the specified plugin version.
