Summary: Gradle sync fails in Android Studio projects with Native Development Kit (NDK) enabled when using the latest stable Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) version 8.7.2. This results in the error message:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Module source root type com.android.tools.idea.gradle.project.facet.ndk.NativeSourceRootType@4438f73e is not registered as JpsModelSerializerExtension

Steps to Reproduce:

Create a new Android project in Android Studio.
In the project's build.gradle (app level), enable NDK support by adding the following line within the android block:

android {
  // ... other configurations
  defaultConfig {
    // ... other configurations
    ndk {
      abiFilters 'armeabi-v7a', 'x86' // Specify desired architectures (optional)
    }
  }
}

Use the latest stable Android Gradle Plugin version by updating the classpath section in your project's root build.gradle file:

// Replace with the latest stable version (currently 8.7.2 as of 2024-11-12)
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.7.2'

Synchronize the project with Gradle by clicking "Sync Project with Gradle Files" in Android Studio.

Expected Behavior: The project should successfully synchronize with Gradle and be ready for development with NDK support.

Actual Behavior: Gradle sync fails with the error message:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Module source root type com.android.tools.idea.gradle.project.facet.ndk.NativeSourceRootType@4438f73e is not registered as JpsModelSerializerExtension

Additional Information:

This issue appears to manifest to Android Gradle Plugin version 8.7.1+.
The error suggests a mismatch between the internal representation of NDK source roots and the expected format for the JPS (Java Platform Standard) model serializer extension.
