Has anyone managed to get a concept of build variants workin

Question

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

deviant · Answer

maybe this could cover your use case <https github com yshrsmz BuildKonfig>

Sam · Answer

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

leandro · Answer

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

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 gt < Sebastian Sellmair JB >

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

Sam · Answer

Because the `androidDebug` source set cannot be accessed from iOS < xxfast> how do you use that module in your iOS other platforms

xxfast · Answer

that i m yet to figure out sweat smile

xxfast · Answer

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
