How to Reproduce

Greetings. I'm using AFP 8.2.2 and Gradle 8.6. Also I'm using build.gradle.kts (Kotlin). I integrated AppLovinMax according to the documentation: https://dash.applovin.com/documentation/mediation/android/getting-started/integration I received the first error when performing the sync project with gradle files task when using the construction (in build.gradle.kts (app level)):

applovin{
     key = "my_key"
}

CONFIGURE FAILED in 2s

This error was already caused by the following line in build.gradle.kts (app level):

plugins {
     ...
     id("applovin-quality-service")
}

After commenting out more, I finally got the project to sync correctly. Through experience, I found out that this bug does not reproduce on AGP 7.4.2 and Gradle 7.6.4. If I upgrade any of this to version 8, the error immediately returns. How to fix the error? Thank you. Android Studio Version: Hedgehog 2023.1.1 Patch 2 Java and Kotlin compileOption: JVM target 17

Additional Info

No response

I fixed it by updating the dependency AppLovinQualityServiceGradlePlugin to the version 5.1.7: In root build.gradle.kts: com.applovin.quality:AppLovinQualityServiceGradlePlugin:5.1.7
