Frequently Asked Questions about check-outdated

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check outdated dependencies in an Android project?▼

You can check outdated dependencies by running the command against your project, which compares local versions from `gradle/libs.versions.toml` against Maven Central. Results are provided as machine-readable JSON output.

What is the best way to automate version control for Android Maven Central libraries?▼

Automating version control for Maven Central libraries is handled by caching dependency check results in a local JSON file. You can set a customizable cache expiration time to balance performance and data freshness while avoiding redundant network queries.

Do I need network access to run a dependency version check?▼

Yes, network access is required to run a dependency version check because the tool queries Maven Central directly. However, cached results in a local JSON file are used for efficient subsequent checks until the configured cache TTL expires.

Does dependency checking work with version catalogs in Gradle?▼

Yes, dependency checking works with Gradle version catalogs by parsing the `gradle/libs.versions.toml` file. This specific file is required as the local project input to identify and compare your current Android library versions.
