How to open a legacy Kotlin project (built in 2018) in Android Studio 2025?

How to open a legacy Kotlin project (built in 2018) in Android Studio 2025? I have inherited a legacy project that was built in Kotlin back in 2018. I'm currently using Android Studio 2025 on my computer. I need to open this old project in the newer Android Studio version because I only want to change the API URL endpoints in the legacy project. What I have:

• A Kotlin project from 2018
• Android Studio 2025 (current version)
• Goal: Simply update API URLs in the existing project

What I'm experiencing:

Questions:

What are the necessary steps to migrate/upgrade a 2018 Kotlin project to be compatible with Android Studio 2025? Are there any specific Gradle, Kotlin, or Android SDK version compatibility issues I should be aware of? What's the safest approach to update only the API URLs without breaking the existing functionality?

Any guidance on the migration process or potential pitfalls would be greatly appreciated. Environment:

Legacy project: Kotlin (2018) Current IDE: Android Studio 2025 Target: Minimal changes, only API URL updates

When I extracted the source code and opened it in Android Studio, there was an error when syncing. I just hope. the project runs without disturbing the existing project structure and can change the latest API URL address.

Here is the error from Sync:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 48s

To make it build with newest Android Studio you first have to update Gradle wrapper version used, update AGP (Android Gradle Plugin) and potentially build script (depending of whether it have custom tasks, etc).

Main issue you will face after that is JCenter repository had been closed and dependencies you have in project can no longer be accessible. First you will have to try using MavenCentral (mavenCentral()) and if that is not working then check if library have github repository and try to use jitpack.

Other than that if target is also uploading it to store, you will have to try update target version which can require code changes
