Android wear project with 3 flavors, 3 buildTypes and 2 applicationIdSuffixes

Question

When I build my project after trying to combine wearApp flavors and buildTypes with applicationIdSuffixes, i get the following error message:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:handleFirstCustomerTestMicroApk'. > The main and the micro apps do not have the same package name. 

From my app/build.gradle:

buildTypes {     debug {         applicationIdSuffix '.debug'         debuggable true         embedMicroApp = true     }     customerTest {         applicationIdSuffix '.customertest'         debuggable true         embedMicroApp = true     }     release {         proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'         minifyEnabled true         embedMicroApp = true     } }  productFlavors {     first {         applicationId 'com.my.app.first'     }     second {         applicationId 'com.my.app.second'     }     third {         applicationId 'com.my.app.third'     } }  dependencies {     firstWearApp project(path: ':wear', configuration: 'firstDebug')     firstWearApp project(path: ':wear', configuration: 'firstCustomerTest')     firstWearApp project(path: ':wear', configuration: 'firstRelease')      secondWearApp project(path: ':wear', configuration: 'secondDebug')     secondWearApp project(path: ':wear', configuration: 'secondCustomerTest')     secondWearApp project(path: ':wear', configuration: 'secondRelease')      thirdWearApp project(path: ':wear', configuration: 'thirdDebug')     thirdWearApp project(path: ':wear', configuration: 'thirdCustomerTest')     thirdWearApp project(path: ':wear', configuration: 'thirdRelease') } 

From my wear/build.gradle:

buildTypes {     debug {         applicationIdSuffix '.debug'         minifyEnabled false     }     customerTest {         applicationIdSuffix '.customertest'         minifyEnabled false     }     release {         minifyEnabled true         proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'     } } productFlavors {     first {         applicationId 'com.my.app.first'     }     second {         applicationId 'com.my.app.second'     }     third {         applicationId 'com.my.app.third'     } }  android {     publishNonDefault true } 

I know from these that <buildType>WearApp is possible, but what I really need is <flavor><BuildType>WearApp (which don't seem to be possible right now):

• Android wear application packaging fails with flavours
• Wear App and with custom build type with applicationIdSuffix
• https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=74658

Keeping all the above 9 wearApp dependencies sort of works if I remove the applicationIdSuffixes, but then it still builds one wear apk per buildType no matter what buildType I choose in Android Studio - and I really need the applicationIdSuffixes.

Anyone have a workaround for this? As of today I'm adding and removing wearApp dependencies manually every time I need to change my buildType and / or flavor, and it's not exactly a solution I'm comfortable with in the long run.

EDIT: I didn't notice this at first, but for some reason variants firstDebug, secondDebug and thirdDebug builds just fine with all 9 wearApp dependencies in build.gradle. The error message remains the same for firstCustomerTest, firstRelease, secondCustomerTest, secondRelease, thirdCustomerTest and thirdRelease though. All variants compile the 9 wearApps every time, would be neat to reduce this to 1.

According to This Post

Try this

configurations {     firstDebugWearApp     firstCustomerTestWearApp     firstReleaseWearApp     secondDebugWearApp  ...//  And all the others }   dependencies {         firstDebugWearApp project(path: ':wear', configuration: 'firstDebug')         firstCustomerTestWearApp project(path: ':wear', configuration: 'firstCustomerTest')         firstReleaseWearApp project(path: ':wear', configuration: 'firstRelease')          secondDebugWearApp project(path: ':wear', configuration: 'secondDebug')         secondCustomerTestWearApp project(path: ':wear', configuration: 'secondCustomerTest')         secondReleaseWearApp project(path: ':wear', configuration: 'secondRelease')          thirdDebugWearApp project(path: ':wear', configuration: 'thirdDebug')         thirdCustomerTestWearApp project(path: ':wear', configuration: 'thirdCustomerTest')         thirdReleaseWearApp project(path: ':wear', configuration: 'thirdRelease')     }
