(#) Newer Library Versions Available !!! WARNING: Newer Library Versions Available This is a warning. Id : `NewerVersionAvailable` Summary : Newer Library Versions Available Note : **This issue is disabled by default**; use `--enable NewerVersionAvailable` Severity : Warning Category : Correctness Platform : Any Vendor : Android Open Source Project Feedback : https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/new?component=192708 Since : Initial Affects : Gradle build files and TOML files Editing : This check runs on the fly in the IDE editor Implementation : [Source Code](https://cs.android.com/android-studio/platform/tools/base/+/mirror-goog-studio-main:lint/libs/lint-checks/src/main/java/com/android/tools/lint/checks/GradleDetector.kt) Tests : [Source Code](https://cs.android.com/android-studio/platform/tools/base/+/mirror-goog-studio-main:lint/libs/lint-tests/src/test/java/com/android/tools/lint/checks/GradleDetectorTest.kt) Copyright Year : 2014 This detector checks with a central repository to see if there are newer versions available for the dependencies used by this project. This is similar to the `GradleDependency` check, which checks for newer versions available in the Android SDK tools and libraries, but this works with any MavenCentral dependency, and connects to the library every time, which makes it more flexible but also **much** slower. !!! Tip This lint check has an associated quickfix available in the IDE. (##) Example Here is an example of lint warnings produced by this check: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~text ../gradle/libs.versions.toml:12:Warning: A newer version of com.autonomousapps.dependency-analysis than 1.0.0 is available: 1.20.0 [NewerVersionAvailable] gradlePlugins-dependency-analysis = "1.0.0" ------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here is the source file referenced above: `../gradle/libs.versions.toml`: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~toml linenumbers [versions] guavaVersion = "11.0.2" appCompatVersion="13.0.0" wearableVersion=" 1.2.0 " # Test comment suppression: #noinspection GradleDependency multi-dex="1.0.0" gradlePlugins-agp = "8.0.0" gradlePlugins-agp-alpha = "8.1.0-alpha01" gradlePlugins-agp-dev = "8.2.0-dev" gradlePlugins-crashlytics = "2.9.2" gradlePlugins-dependency-analysis = "1.0.0" [libraries] com-google-guava = { module = "com.google.guava:guava", version.ref = "guavaVersion"} appcompat = { module = "com.android.support:appcompat-v7", version.ref = "appCompatVersion" } wearable-support = { group = " com.google.android.support ", name =" wearable ", version.ref = " wearableVersion " } multidex-lib = { module = "com.android.support:multidex", version.ref = "multi-dex" } [bundles] misc = [ "com-google-guava", "appcompat", ] [plugins] android-application = { id = "com.android.application", version.ref = "gradlePlugins-agp" } android-application2 = { id = "com.android.application", version.ref = "gradlePlugins-agp-alpha" } android-application3 = { id = "com.android.application", version.ref = "gradlePlugins-agp-dev" } crashlytics = { id = "com.google.firebase.crashlytics", version.ref = "gradlePlugins-crashlytics" } dependency-analysis = { id = "com.autonomousapps.dependency-analysis", version.ref = "gradlePlugins-dependency-analysis" } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can also visit the [source code](https://cs.android.com/android-studio/platform/tools/base/+/mirror-goog-studio-main:lint/libs/lint-tests/src/test/java/com/android/tools/lint/checks/GradleDetectorTest.kt) for the unit tests for this check to see additional scenarios. The above example was automatically extracted from the first unit test found for this lint check, `GradleDetector.testTomlVersionCatalogFile`. To report a problem with this extracted sample, visit https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/new?component=192708. (##) Suppressing You can suppress false positives using one of the following mechanisms: * Using a suppression comment like this on the line above: ```kt //noinspection NewerVersionAvailable problematicStatement() ``` * Using a special `lint.xml` file in the source tree which turns off the check in that folder and any sub folder. A simple file might look like this: ```xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <lint> <issue id="NewerVersionAvailable" severity="ignore" /> </lint> ``` Instead of `ignore` you can also change the severity here, for example from `error` to `warning`. You can find additional documentation on how to filter issues by path, regular expression and so on [here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/lintxml.md.html). * In Gradle projects, using the DSL syntax to configure lint. For example, you can use something like ```gradle lintOptions { disable 'NewerVersionAvailable' } ``` In Android projects this should be nested inside an `android { }` block. * For manual invocations of `lint`, using the `--ignore` flag: ``` $ lint --ignore NewerVersionAvailable ...` ``` * Last, but not least, using baselines, as discussed [here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/baselines.md.html).
