Introduction
Android Studio is official IDE for Android Application development. It helps the developers to accelerate app development and build the highest-quality apps for every Android device.

In previous article we discussed HMS Kit Integration in Android Studio Bumblebee. In this article we are going to discuss HMS Kit integration in Android Studio version Chipmunk . It is almost same as Bumblebee.
Chipmunk
Android Studio Chipmunk| 2021.2.1 released on May 09, 2022 with the following features.

HMS Kit Integration Process
Configuring the Maven Repository Address for the HMS Core SDK
- Open the build.gradle file in the root directory .
There are some changes in root level build.gradle file in Bumblebee and Chipmunk versions. buildscript removed here in new version, where we add the AppGallery Connect plugin.
So, add buildscript repositories and add the class path inside the dependencies section.
Note : No need to configure the Maven repository address in root level build.gradle
2. Open the settings.gradle file in the root directory. Few changes are there in the file in Bumblebee and Chipmunk. We can find pluginManagement and dependencyResolutionManagement there. Add maven url in both sections as mentioned in below.
Adding Build Dependencies
1. Open the app-level build.gradle file of your project.
2. Add a build dependency in the dependencies block.
3. Add the AppGallery Connect plugin configuration
That’s it.
Android Gradle plugin and Android Studio compatibility
