Plugin with id 'newrelic' not found.

[hughknaus]

Description & Steps to Reproduce

Following these steps: https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-capacitor-plugin?tab=readme-ov-file#android-setup and those steps seem to have some overlap with some differences from https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/mobile-monitoring/new-relic-mobile-android/install-configure/install-android-agent-gradle/#manual-install. For one, I'm using Capacitor/Trapeze to build the Android project which works great with modifying build.gradle, app/build.gradle, and AndroidManifest.xml. However, in Android Studio it has the error Plugin with id 'newrelic' not found. So it cannot be built.

I tried adding import com.newrelic.agent.android.NewRelic; to the MainActivity.java and adding an onCreate(...) with NewRelic.withApplicationToken("<GENERATED_TOKEN>").start(this.getApplicationContext()); but issue remains.

Expected Behavior

Expect that since I can build the Ionic/Angular app with Capacitor/Trapeze and generate the Android app that I would be able to build the app from within Android Studio.

Relevant Logs / Console output

Android Studio output:

@hughknaus did you add newrelic classpath in your configuration?

[hughknaus]

@ndesai-newrelic I did have the classpath, but it not have the pointer to the files(...) I'll try adding that.

Here's my what I have in my trapeze yaml (this didn't work by the way), not sure what the path should be:

      - file: build.gradle
        target: 
          buildscript:
            dependencies:
        insert: |
          classpath: "com.newrelic.agent.android:agent-gradle-plugin:7.2.0"
          classpath: files("../node_modules/@newrelic/newrelic-capacitor-plugin/android/src/main/java/com/newrelic/capacitor/plugin"). <--- WHAT PATH SHOULD THIS BE?

      - file: app/build.gradle
        target:
        insert: |
          apply plugin: 'newrelic'

      - file: app/build.gradle
        target:
          dependencies:
        insert: |
          implementation "com.newrelic.agent.android:android-agent:7.2.0"

[ndesai-newrelic]

@hughknaus no need to add files in classpath.

[ndesai-newrelic]

@hughknaus It appears that there might be a bug in the Trapeze installation process where the classpath is not added correctly. In order to address this, you can manually add the classpath while following the installation steps.

@ndesai-newrelic I figured it out... silly mistake. I had a colon after classpath so it was showing up like this in my build.gradle file:

classpath: "com.newrelic.agent.android:agent-gradle-plugin:7.2.0"

After removing the colon in my Trapeze file then it worked like magic. Sorry for taking your time.
