For contributors it's uncomfortable to start with the app as it won't run out of the box.
Please consider removing gradle.properties from .gitignore again (as officially suggested) and store individual properites in GRADLE_USER_HOME (if there are any).
E.g. the contributor has not to debug / guess the properties anymore like
android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true
Can also store signingConfigs of build.gradle in local.properties
