# Architecture
TODO This is a placeholder for describing the app architecture.
## Gradle
* Versions are declared in `gradle.properties`. There's still enough inconsistency in how versions are handled in Gradle, that this is as close as we can get to a universal system. A version catalog is used for dependencies and is configured in `settings.gradle.kts`, but other versions like Gradle Plug-ins, the NDK version, Java version, and Android SDK versions don't fit into the version catalog model and are read directly from the properties
* Much of the Gradle configuration lives in `build-conventions` to prevent repetitive configuration as additional modules are added to the project
* Build scripts are written in Kotlin, so that a single language is used across build and the app code bases
* Only Gradle, Google, and JetBrains plug-ins are included in the critical path. Third party plug-ins can be used, but they're outside the critical path. For example, the Gradle Versions Plugin could be removed and wouldn't negative impact building, testing, or deploying the app
