+
+> **Note:** `143.7445.0` is the minimum version required to build with Android Gradle Plugin 9+. Earlier Cronet artifacts shared the `org.chromium.net` namespace across modules, which trips AGP 9's unique-namespace enforcement during manifest merge. Fixed upstream in [crbug 406926302](https://issues.chromium.org/issues/406926302).
