_Include the following details (edit as applicable):_

- **Host machine & OS version** : Windows 11
- **Issue Environment** : Unity Unity Editor
- **Xcode version** :

Description of the issue:

I followed the tutorial here and installed gradle v 8.0  
[https://lightship.dev/docs/ardk/ardk\_fundamentals/building\_android.html#building-android-api-31](https://lightship.dev/docs/ardk/ardk_fundamentals/building_android.html#building-android-api-31)

When I try to build I get the following error.

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 9.0.

You can use ‘–warning-mode all’ to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.

See [Command-Line Interface](https://docs.gradle.org/8.0.2/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings)

UnityEditor.BuildPlayerWindow/DefaultBuildMethods:BuildPlayer (UnityEditor.BuildPlayerOptions)  
Niantic.ARDK.AR.WayspotAnchors.Editor.\_RemoteAuthoringPresenceManager:OnBuild (UnityEditor.BuildPlayerOptions) (at Assets/ARDK/Editor/RemoteContent/\_RemoteAuthoringPresenceManager.cs:170)

Hello Syed,

In Unity, can you go to **Edit → Preferences → External Tools** and scroll all the way down and send me a screenshot of the **Android** section?

Can you also verify that your Custom Base Gradle Template is set to plugin version 4.2.0?
