Gradle plugin endpoints-framework-gradle-plugin no longer maintained?

Question

When trying to migrate my Android project from Gradle 7 to 8 I'm stumbling upon this:

Unable to find method ''void org.gradle.api.tasks.bundling.Zip.setArchiveName(java.lang.String)'' 'void org.gradle.api.tasks.bundling.Zip.setArchiveName(java.lang.String)'

It turns out that in github https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/endpoints-framework-gradle-plugin has been set to read-only:

This repository has been archived by the owner on Jan 13, 2023. It is now read-only.

So my question is: how should I proceed with migration to Gradle 8? Are there plans to provide updates to the endpoints-framework-gradle-plugin?

Answer 1

Looks like the plugin's master branch fixed this 2 years ago, but the fix was never released.

One possible solution is to fork the repo and include it manually as a dependency in your project.

An alternative solution is to reconsider the upgrade to v8 and instead downgrade your project to use the most recent Gradle 7.x.x version. This might also require downgrading some dependencies. I had to downgrade endpoints-management-control-appengine and endpoints-framework-auth dependencies from 1.0.14 to 1.0.11.
