 ## Notes
 
+### Important: AGP 9.0.0 and AndroidAspectExample EOL
+
+It seems this project is on its last legs with the introduction of AGP 9.0.0. It shouldn't matter too
+much since this is just a sample project, but heads up that since AGP will be updating their DSL in 9.0.0
+and removing it in the near future, this project will stop working. This is because the underlying 
+Aspect library [gradle-aspectj-pipeline-plugin] is no longer maintained since 2023 so has not updated
+to the new DSL. 
+
+For now, i.e. at least the first major release of AGP 9, this can be worked around by using the following
+flag in `gradle.properties`:
+
+```text
+android.newDsl=false
+```
+
+As mentioned below, I do not personally recommend AspectJ anymore but if you still prefer to use it,
+there do seem to be alternatives out there under active development, such as [AndroidAOP]. I have not
+personally vetted that library but it does appear to be pretty active and have a decent amount of stars. 
+
+This project will be updated until the `newDsl` flag is removed after which I will probably archive the project.
