Support for Gradle-Metadata

[esial]

Is there any way to add variants and custom attributes in file.module file generated for gradle-metadata in android library?

requires a whole different set of components be registered with the publishing api's. I did a POC last year that does it. needs to be brought up to date but worked fine with the version I used at the time.

required a slew of internal API's be used, so very fragile at best.

It seems to work with most variants, but there is still problem with recognize some configurations at consumer side. Here is consumer config:

android {
    buildTypes {
        release {}
        debug {}
    }

    flavorDimensions 'brand'
    productFlavors {
        flaA {
            dimension 'brand'
        }
        flaB {
            dimension 'brand'
        }
}

All test and simple configurations like flaARelease or flaBDebug don't have any attributes so they try to use default variant, which not match. I get errror like this where com.test:app_flaA_debug:1.0. is default variant at producer side. ERROR: Unable to resolve dependency for ':app@flaARelease/compileClasspath': Could not resolve com.test:app_flaA_debug:1.0.

Any sugestions?

Unfortunately, this plugin does not work well with Gradle 6: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/144240061#comment11

Android 3.6.0 has been released. It now officially supports maven-publish with Gradle Metadata: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin#maven-publish

Maybe users of 3.6.0 won't need this plugin anymore and you can add a note about that to the readme?

I have read AGP release notes, so yes I can. Thanks for the information.
