> However, i'm wondering why gradle is now moved to "tools" folder into the android project. The AGP (Android Gradle Plugin) is the thing that does the minimum supported gradle check. The problem is if you have a single gradle project, then using the `gradle wrapper` (or `gradlew`) command to update the gradle wrapper will fail due to... the minimum version check, because the wrapper task still loads AGP and AGP will complain. Part of this is because Gradle community recommends checking the gradle wrapper so that end users don't have to update their own gradle wrapper, so if there was a version bump it can be managed by a single person. However, that means checking in binary code into the repository and distributing that which is against Apache policies for security reasons. So in order to reduce reliance on a particular system gradle version, but still allow older gradle wrappers to update to a newer version, we have a "dummy" tools project that doesn't import the AGP and the CLI is configured to use the wrapper from the dummy project. Hence why this works from the cordova CLI. Android Studio will have it's own configurations and you'll need to configure gradle to use a compatible gradle version. This might also mean having to upgrade Android Studio if you're using an older version. Cordova Android 13 should work with Android Studio Ladybug out of the box, assuming default settings on both the Cordova Android project and Android Studio.
