          28.0.0 is a specific version when 28.+ means 'take the newest version starting with 28



          Due to the reference:




          If the dependency is declared as a dynamic version (like 1.+), Gradle will resolve this to the highest available concrete version (like 1.2) in the repository. For Maven repositories, this is done using the maven-metadata.xml file, while for Ivy repositories this is done by directory listing.

          • think it is not "the newest version starting with X" - but "at least version X" ...the documentation might also have used a bad example, because it only covers a single major version number.

          you've probably chosen a bad example, because 27.+ would at a maximum resolve to version 28.0.0. because of that, there is no difference in between 28.0.0 and 28.+ support libraries.



          in general it's also bad practice not to use explicit version numbers, because it means slight loss of control. besides there won't ever be any version 28.+ released ...migrate to androidx at version 1.0.0 (which exactly matches version 28.0.0 under the com.android.support namespace).



          api "com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:28.0.0"


          would become:
