Plugin with id 'atak-takdev-plugin' not found.

Hello,

I am trying to develop an atak plugin, and started out by cloning the main branch of this: https://github.521000.best.mcas-gov.us/deptofdefense/AndroidTacticalAssaultKit-CIV/tree/main.

That creates a directory called AndroidTacticalAssaultKit-CIV.

As someone with 0 experience with android development, I wanted to start my plugin by adding onto pluginTemplate located inside AndroidTacticalAssaultKit-CIV/plugin-examples/.

However, right after cloning the repo, when I try to 'Sync Project with Gradle Files', I get this error:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.

Plugin with id 'atak-takdev-plugin' not found.

from my build.gradle file. I have been trying to fix it, but have not succeeded.
Notably, many have suggested the error could be with this line: ext.takdevPlugin = getProperty('takdev.plugin', "${rootDir}/../../atak-gradle-takdev.jar"). And that we need to make it specific to our machine. However, I don't even seem to have the atak-gradle-takdev.jar file.

I also got an account with tak.gov and cloned the 5.3 branch, since it seems to be the most active/updated version of atak. Rather than this one.... but it doesn't provide, as far as I can tell, any plugin examples to get started with. So I wanted to use this one instead since it has the plugin examples. Is that the better branch to use? If so, does anyone have any advice on how to get started with a plugin using that branch?
