DynamicFeatureBuildType

interface DynamicFeatureBuildType : BuildType, DynamicFeatureVariantDimension
com.android.build.api.dsl.DynamicFeatureBuildType

Build types define certain properties that Gradle uses when building and packaging your app, and are typically configured for different stages of your development lifecycle.

Dynamic features must have exactly the same build types (by name) as the app that includes them, however settings can be different between the application and the dynamic feature. Properties on dynamic feature build types fall in to three categories.

  • Properties global to the application that affect the build flow, and so must be explicitly set in the dynamic feature. For example, whether the build type is debuggable must match the application that includes this dynamic feature.
  • Properties global to the application that do not affect the build flow. These are set in the com.android.application project, and are automatically configured on the dynamic feature, they cannot be set on the dynamic feature. For example, application ID suffix and signing cannot be configured on the dynamic feature and are not present on this interface.
  • Properties that can vary between the app and the dynamic feature. For example, resValues can be used independently from the app in a dynamic feature.

isCrunchPngs

abstract var isCrunchPngs: Boolean?

Whether to crunch PNGs.

Setting this property to true reduces of PNG resources that are not already optimally compressed. However, this process increases build times.

PNG crunching is enabled by default in the release build type and disabled by default in the debug build type.
