Has anyone managed to get a concept of build variants working within the shared code?

Specifically my usecase is wanting to define instances of data classes populated with dummy data (for a mock variant of the app) in shared code, but I don't want those to be used in production.

Any ideas anyone? :pray:

maybe this could cover your use case

Not really to be honest, unless I'm missunderstanding. I think that solves the problem of wanting configuration in one place , but doesn't solve the problem of wanting multiple source sets within the shared code

I don’t have a good solution other than providing the data from the leaf/app module. This way every other module isn’t aware of variants

I created a you track issue to address lack of debug variants in common code, but that got immediately shot down

<@U019WDTQTS6> Do you have a link to the issue? I'd be interested in the response

<https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-51253/Add-default-commonDebug-source-set>

&gt; I am moving this to 'Declined', not because the proposal is bad, but because we will not implement something like this in "the current multiplatform".
&gt; We're working together with Google to provide a better mpp+Android integration in the future. This implementation will have source sets completely re-designed and will hopefully satisfy your needs fully!

my current workaround for this is to extract this to a standalone nested module and include that for android debug variant like

```debugImplementation(project(":app:debug"))```

Just to get a better understanding,
why is the. `androidDebug` source set not an option for your use case?

Because the `androidDebug` source set cannot be accessed from iOS. <@U019WDTQTS6> how do you use that module in your iOS / other platforms?

right now im consuming the debug library in my release build as well - which is generally no go

Ah fair enough, my current thinking is trying to do some kind of clever symlinking but it's probably asking for trouble
