I have created custom buildTypes as follows:
buildTypes { releasefree.initWith(buildTypes.release) releasefree { minifyEnabled true shrinkResources true proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } releasepro.initWith(buildTypes.release) releasepro { minifyEnabled true shrinkResources true proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' applicationIdSuffix ".pro" } debugfree.initWith(buildTypes.debug) debugfree { shrinkResources true applicationIdSuffix ".debug" debuggable true } debugpro.initWith(buildTypes.debug) debugpro { shrinkResources true applicationIdSuffix ".pro.debug" debuggable true } } I am not going to use the default debug and release build types ever and want to remove them from the build variants list. I have more than a few flavors and the list of variants is too huge. Removing the variants with default debug and release types will help as I'm never going to use them.
I tried using variant filter as follows but it did not work
android.variantFilter { variant -> if(variant.buildType.name.endsWith('Release') || variant.buildType.name.endsWith('Debug')) { variant.setIgnore(true); } } Is there something wrong in the way I'm filtering the variants or is it just not possible to remove the variants with default debug and release build types.

NOTE: By default, the Android Studio will generate "debug" and "release" Build Types for your project. So, to change a Build Type, all you need to do is just select your Build Type from the Build Variant and after the project sync, you are good to go.
void missingDimensionStrategy ( String dimension, String requestedValue) Specifies a flavor that the plugin should try to use from a given dimension in a dependency. Android plugin 3.0. 0 and higher try to match each variant of your module with the same one from its dependencies.
Flavor Dimensions is a way to group flavors by a name. For now, we're using just a single group. Add the following line in your defaultConfig block: flavorDimensions "default" Now syncing the gradle would give you the following product flavors: Android Build Variants combine build types and product flavors.
Build Types and Build Variants Build Variants are the result of Gradle using a specific set of rules to combine settings, code, and resources configured in your build types and product flavors. Build Type applies different build and packaging settings. An example of build types are “Debug” and “Release”.
Figured it out. It was a really silly mistake on my part. The above variant filter does work. The names are all lower case and the upper case in the strings i was comparing with were the culprit.
Changing to the following (making compare strings lower case) made it work as expected:
android.variantFilter { variant -> if(variant.buildType.name.endsWith('release') || variant.buildType.name.endsWith('debug')) { variant.setIgnore(true); } } or this
android.variantFilter { variant -> if(variant.buildType.name.equals('release') || variant.buildType.name.equals('debug')) { variant.setIgnore(true); } } If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
