### Transitive Dependencies

Intercom Android SDK transitively depends on the above libraries. If your app is using any one of these libraries, they should at least be on the same major version that Intercom SDK is using.
Intercom Android SDK transitively depends on a number of common libraries (for example, Coil for image loading). If your app is using any one of these libraries, they should at least be on the same major version that the Intercom SDK is using.
When there are two versions of a library at build time, Gradle automatically picks the newer version.
This means if you are currently using say Glide 3.x, your app would automatically get Glide 4.x after including Intercom.
This means if you are currently using say Coil 1.x, your app would automatically get Coil 2.x after including Intercom.
