Plugin [id: ‘androidx.navigation.safeargs.kotlin’] was not found in any of the following sources:

When encountering the error message “plugin [id: ‘androidx.navigation.safeargs.kotlin’] was not found in any of the following sources”, it means that the specified plugin could not be found in the available sources or repositories. This error usually occurs in the context of Gradle, which is a build automation tool used in Android development.

To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Check your project’s build.gradle file to ensure that the plugin repository is properly configured.

        
          buildscript {
              repositories {
                  // Ensure that the necessary repositories are declared here
              }
              dependencies {
                  // Check that the required plugin dependency is included here
              }
          }
        
      

2. Verify that the plugin is spelled correctly and its version is valid, as specified in the official documentation or the source from where you found it. Mistyped names or incorrect versions can lead to this error.
3. Ensure that your internet connection is stable and functional, as the plugin may need to be downloaded from an external source.
4. If the repository or plugin is hosted in a private source, check if you have the necessary access credentials (such as username/password, access tokens, etc.) to download the plugin.
5. If you are using a proxy server for internet access, ensure that it is properly configured to allow Gradle to access the required sources.
6. Consider using a different version of the plugin or an alternative plugin that provides similar functionality, if available.

Here’s an example of a build.gradle file showing the inclusion of a repository and plugin dependency:

    
      buildscript {
          repositories {
              google()  // Example repository declaration
              jcenter() // Example repository declaration
          }
          dependencies {
              // Example plugin dependency
              classpath 'androidx.navigation:navigation-safe-args-gradle-plugin:2.4.0'
          }
      }
