Can i disable Firebase plugin for specific flavor?

Question

I'm currently trying out the Firebase analytics suit, but, i have faced one small issue, my app is distributed on both google play and amazon store (which doesn't support google play services), so for the amazon flavor i want to remove the dependency to Firebase (which i already know how to do), but, i also need to remove the Firebase plugin, so that it doesn't throw an exception while building.

This is what i have as far now:

productFlavors {
    google {
        applicationId 'google app id'
    }
    amazon {
        applicationId 'amazon app id'
    }
}

dependencies {
    googleCompile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:9.0.0'
    amazonCompile 'com.amazonaws:aws-android-sdk-mobileanalytics:2.2.12'
    amazonCompile('com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.5.1@aar') {
        transitive = true;
    }
}

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

But, i need to remove the plugin only if is the amazon flavor.

Is this even possible? Or at least is there something close that i can try ?

UPDATE:

As per Steve request, i went and try the version with Firebase on my Amazon Kindle tablets and it does work even thou there's no Google Play Services installed on them.

Answer 1

As per Steve's answer Firebase analytics works even without Google play services. But we still can disable google services plugin for flavors.

Try add code like this:

 apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

 android.applicationVariants.all { variant ->
     if (!variant.name.contains("flavorName")) {
         project.tasks.each { t ->
             if (t.name.contains("GoogleServices")) {
                 // Remove google services plugin
                 variant.getVariantData().resourceGenTask.getTaskDependencies().values.remove(t);
                 // For latest gradle plugin use this instead
                 // variant.getVariantData().taskContainer.sourceGenTask.getTaskDependencies().getDependencies().remove(t)
             }
         }
     }
 }

Here I disable google services for all flavors which their name doesn't contains "flavorName". You should modify the conditions to fit your requirement. And notice that this should be added after apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'. Hope it helps.

Answer 2

I finally got a version to work with new gradle. Tested with gradle 4.6, build tools 3.0.1, google-services plugin 3.1.1

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

android.applicationVariants.all { variant ->
    if (variant.name == 'someVariantNameYouDontwantFirebase') {
        project.tasks.getByName('process' + variant.name.capitalize() + 'GoogleServices').enabled = false
    }
}
