Update available for component nativescript. Your current version is 6.8.0 and the latest available version is 7.0.11.
‼ Update available for component tns-core-modules. Your current version is 6.5.8 and the latest available version is 6.5.21.

Describe the bug
Until about 1-2 months ago i can use nativescript without problem, today i try to build an old project and i receive this error:

  • Where:
    Build file '[cut]\platforms\android\app\build.gradle' line: 33

  • What went wrong:
    A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.

Plugin with id 'com.android.application' not found.

So i tried to build an "hello world" project and i receive the same error. What happened? In these 2 months i start to coding in Native Android Studio. Is possible i changed something?

Research direction

Start with the reported failure in platforms/android/app/build.gradle at line 33, then inspect the NativeScript and Android component versions from tns info or package.json. Reproduce the error in both the old project and a new Hello World project. Done means the Android build resolves the application plugin and completes successfully.
