Skill: Remove Platform Version Support
You are tasked with removing support for an older IntelliJ Platform or Android Studio version (e.g., dropping support for 2025.1 / build 251 and raising the lower bound to 2025.2 / build 252).
Objective
Systematically update compatibility ranges, clean up CI verification loops and baseline files, identify and remove obsolete compatibility code or TODOs, check repository issues, and update documentation.
Workflow Instructions
1. Establish Baseline & Identify Target Version
- Identify the build number being removed (e.g.,
251 for 2025.1) and the new lower bound (e.g., 252 for 2025.2).
- Run
./gradlew testClasses to ensure the project compiles before making changes.
2. Update Compatibility Lower Bound (gradle.properties)
- Open
gradle.properties.
- Update
sinceBuild=<version> to the new lower bound build number (e.g., change sinceBuild=251 to sinceBuild=252).
3. Update CI Verification Script (tool/github.sh)
- Open
tool/github.sh.
- Locate the
VERIFY_BOT verification loop (for version in ...; do).
- Remove the dropped version number from the list so that
./gradlew verifyPlugin is only run against active versions in the compatibility range.
