- Make sure that you have the latest **gradle** and the **android plugin** versions installed. Go to `File > Project Structure > Project` and make sure that you have the latest versions installed.

### SDK Instructions

- First, a build is required for the SDK, so that required jar files are generated. Make sure that the android repository and the kotlin sdk have the same immediate parent directory. Change the current directory to `Rocket.Chat.Android/app` and run the `build-sdk.sh` which will result in creating of the required jar file `core*.jar` and `common*.jar` in `Rocket.Chat.Android/app/libs`,by the following steps in your terminal window:
