Gradle Dependency Checker
Paste your build.gradle to list every dependency and flag dynamic versions and version conflicts. For vulnerable versions, use the Gradle Vulnerability Scan.
Gradle Dependency Checker is part of APKLint, an online toolkit for inspecting Android APK files. Paste your build.gradle to list every dependency and flag dynamic versions and version conflicts. For vulnerable versions, use the Gradle Vulnerability Scan. Paste your build.gradle or libs.versions.toml in your browser to view the relevant details; results reflect what you paste.

What Gradle Dependency Checker checks
- Lists every declared dependency
- Flags dynamic versions (+, latest.release)
- Detects version conflicts across declarations
- Separates plugins from libraries
Good to know: Parses your build.gradle for structure and dynamic-version risks. For known-vulnerable versions, use the Gradle Vulnerability Scanner.
When to use Gradle Dependency Checker
- Best for
- Listing every dependency in a pasted build.gradle and flagging dynamic versions and version conflicts before a build.
- Not the right tool for
- Not a vulnerability database lookup (use the Gradle Vulnerability Scanner) and not a general build linter.
- What you get back
- The full resolved-from-text dependency list, with dynamic ('+') versions and conflicting versions called out.
- How it differs from related APKLint tools
- It maps and de-conflicts versions; the Vulnerability Scanner checks those versions against known-bad ones, and Gradle Lint looks at build configuration.
- Limitations
- It reads the file you paste; it does not resolve the real dependency graph the way Gradle does.
How to use Gradle Dependency Checker
- Paste your Gradle file — Paste your build.gradle, build.gradle.kts, or libs.versions.toml.
- Send for analysis — APKLint checks it on our servers over an encrypted connection.
- Review the findings — Work through each result with a short explanation of why it matters.
- Nothing is stored — Your pasted text is processed for this request only — it isn't written to file or object storage, logged for analytics, or shared.
