The sdk-manager-plugin is a now‑deprecated Gradle plugin (by Jake Wharton) that automatically downloads and manages Android SDK components during Gradle builds. It was designed to reduce SDK installation friction but is obsolete due to built-in capabilities in newer Android Gradle Plugin versions. Your output likely will be different depending on the varying factors listed above. Subsequent runs will omit this output and proceed directly to normal execution. It currently takes about 100ms on average to check all of the above conditions. This cost is only paid when Gradle is setting up the model for the project. If you use the Gradle daemon or use Android Studio this only happens once.
