Add a ViewModel to Dessert Clicker: Android Basics in Compose

[tusharvermaIndia]

in unit 4 , pathway 2, chapter "Practice: add a view model to dessert clicker", subsection 3 (Set up dependencies), it has been instructed to add following variable to the build.gradle file ->
buildscript {
ext {
...
lifecycle_version = '2.5.1'
}
}

but it should have been like this ->

buildscript {
ext[

        "lifecycle_version"] = "2.5.1"

}

I fixed it by following this stack overflow answer.

So, I declare the variables in the project gradle file:

buildscript {
    extra.apply {
        set("lifecycle_version", "2.5.1")
    }
}

And then I referred to that variable in the build.gradle.kts of the app module and assign it to the dependencies:

val lifecycle_version = rootProject.extra.get("lifecycle_version") as String 

//...
dependencies {
    ...implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-compose:$lifecycle_version"
}

nice. i did something similar
buildscript {
extra["lifecycle_version"] = "2.6.1"
}

and then
implementation("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-compose:$(lifecycle_version)")
