Why does the build fail with "Could not find any version that matches com.dynatrace.tools.android:gradle-plugin"?

The build fails with the message "Could not find any version that matches com.dynatrace.tools.android:gradle-plugin" primarily due to version settings not matching. When a Gradle build attempts to resolve dependencies, it checks for the specified version of the com.dynatrace.tools.android:gradle-plugin in the repositories defined in the build configuration.

If the specified version does not exist in any of these repositories, or if the parameters defined for the version range do not align with what is available, the dependency resolution fails. This situation often arises when a specific version is defined that has either been removed, is incompatible with the current build setup, or simply hasn’t been published yet.

In contrast, the other options suggest issues such as deprecation, global installation, or hidden files, which do not directly pertain to the version-matching problem indicated by the error message. While deprecation and installation issues could cause problems in other contexts, they wouldn't produce this specific message regarding version matching. Thus, focusing on version consistency and availability addresses the core issue leading to the build failure.
