# Gradle Setup

This file explains every dependency and plugin you need, plus why it exists.

## Step 1: Add Google Services plugin

File: `app/build.gradle.kts`


```kotlin
plugins {
    id("com.android.application")
    id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.android")
    id("com.google.gms.google-services")
}
```

Google Services Plugin
The Google Services plugin reads `google-services.json` and generates resources used by Firebase.

## Step 2: Add Bubbl + Firebase dependencies

File: `app/build.gradle.kts`


```kotlin
dependencies {
    // Firebase BOM keeps all Firebase libs on compatible versions
    implementation(platform("com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:33.3.0"))

    // FCM for push notifications
    implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging-ktx")

    // Bubbl SDK
    implementation("tech.bubbl:bubbl-sdk:2.0.9")

    // Required: location + background work
    implementation("com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:21.2.0")
    implementation("androidx.work:work-runtime-ktx:2.10.0")
}
```

## Why each line exists

- `firebase-bom`: prevents version conflicts between Firebase libraries.
- `firebase-messaging-ktx`: receives Bubbl push notifications.
- `bubbl-sdk`: the SDK itself.
- `play-services-location`: gets last known location and handles background location updates.
- `work-runtime-ktx`: schedules background refresh jobs.
