Hi [shane.pereira](https://devforum.zoom.us/u/shane.pereira), Thanks for using Zoom SDK. It seems like this question is not related to Zoom SDK. If you would like to have the `gradle.properties` file in your project, you may refer to the following: - [https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate) - [https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build\_environment.html](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_environment.html) - [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37380417/android-studio-where-is-gradle-properties-file](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37380417/android-studio-where-is-gradle-properties-file) - [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30333837/where-to-put-the-gradle-properties-file](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30333837/where-to-put-the-gradle-properties-file) - [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39444581/where-is-gradle-properties-file-located-in-gradle-project](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39444581/where-is-gradle-properties-file-located-in-gradle-project) Hope this helps. Thanks! ---

I am also new to Android Studio, I could not find any way from the IDE to add the gradle.properties file, so I added it manually and it showed in the IDE the next time I loaded it. I added those two lines: ``` android.useAndroidX=true android.enableJetifier=true ``` and it works now. gradle.properties needs to go in the solution top folder, i.e. for the samples it would be mobilertc-android-studio. ---

I have found a solutio, one has to install a plugin to enable androidx dependencies in your IONIC project… # Add plugin to enable AndroidX in the project → cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-androidx # Add plugin to patch existing plugin source that uses the Android Support Library to use AndroidX → cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-androidx-adapter
