Copilot explain and summarize this error. What would be the disadvantages of updated gradle. What would be deprecated / might be at risk of breaking?

• What went wrong:
  A problem occurred evaluating root project 'msgraph-sdk-java'.

Failed to apply plugin 'com.android.internal.version-check'.
Minimum supported Gradle version is 9.4.1. Current version is 8.14.2.
Try updating the 'distributionUrl' property in /mnt/vss/_work/msgraph-sdk-java/msgraph-sdk-java/android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to 'gradle-9.4.1-bin.zip'.

Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace.

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 9.0.

You can use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.

For more on this, please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/8.14.2/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings in the Gradle documentation.

Error summary: The AGP (Android Gradle Plugin) bump from 8.13.2 → 9.2.1 raised the minimum required Gradle version to 9.4.1, but the gradle-wrapper.properties still pointed to Gradle 8.14.2 — hence the version-check plugin failure.

Fix applied: Updated android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to use gradle-9.4.1-bin.zip (commit fix: update Gradle wrapper to 9.4.1 to match AGP 9.2.1 minimum requirement).

Disadvantages / risks of this AGP 9.x upgrade:

Area	Risk
Deprecated API removals	AGP 9.0 removes APIs that were deprecated in 8.x (e.g. BaseVariant, ApplicationVariant Java model). Any code or plugins relying on those will break.
Gradle 9.x incompatibilities	Gradle 9 itself removes previously-deprecated features (e.g. Project.afterEvaluate ordering changes, removed Convention type). Plugins that haven't been updated will fail at configuration time.
Plugin ecosystem	com.gradle:gradle-enterprise-gradle-plugin:3.19.2 and gradle.plugin.com.github.viswaramamoorthy:gradle-util-plugins:0.1.0-RELEASE need to be verified as compatible with Gradle 9.4.1+.
Configuration cache / isolated projects	AGP 9.x tightens configuration-cache requirements; any task that captures the Project object at execution time will error.
Java toolchain defaults	AGP 9.x changes how Java/Kotlin compile targets are resolved; explicit compileOptions blocks may be needed.

The CI build error itself is now resolved by the Gradle wrapper update, but if other plugins in the build aren't Gradle-9-compatible, additional failures may surface in subsequent CI runs.
