How can I ensure that newest version of Gradle resolve all dependencies

Question

I need to update Gradle version in kotlin project. Have I any option to check if all dependencies support new version of Gradle or I need to check all dependencies release nots to make sure. Actually for me it's not pretty clear how dependencies can't support new version of Gradle. For instance:

There two sets of dependencies:

1. Application dependencies -- https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/declaring_dependencies.html

Applications dependencies have no correlation with Gradle whatsoever. These are dependencies needed to build your application and has no impact on Gradle's build environment.

2. Build dependencies
   • https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/tutorial_using_tasks.html#sec:build_script_external_dependencies
   • https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/plugins.html

These dependencies, commonly Gradle plugins, do have an impact of your build. Whether or not a plugin supports a version of Gradle is only known by going to the source and checking release notes, if any. If it is not clear if a plugin supports a particular version of Gradle, then your only option is to upgrade your version of Gradle and see if anything breaks.
