Hi @ThanosFisherman, checkout the Development Environment in the main README.md:

Now in Android uses the Gradle build system and can be imported directly into Android Studio (make sure you are using the latest stable version available here).

Can you reproduce the issue with this configuration?

[ThanosFisherman]

Hi @SimonMarquis, Yes I can still reproduce this error on Intellij 2023.2.5 IDE However it builds fine on the latest version of Android Studio so maybe this is a bug of intellij?

[SimonMarquis]

Android projects are not really meant to be built using the default IntelliJ IDEA, but rather Android Studio. This is probably an issue with IntelliJ IDEA itself, and it will probably be discarded as such.

It's not an IDE thing, It's reproducible on main in terminal using this command, looks like a gradle issue maybe?

Obviously, if you try to run a task that does not exist, Gradle will fail. This works as expected.

[andreiverdes]

But the task does exist...what am I missing?

[andreiverdes]

...wrong repo screenshot from above but it's the same project...here's the right one

[andreiverdes]

yeah, I'm missing literally the commas 🤦‍♂️
