val useLegacyPackaging: Property<Boolean>
Whether to use the legacy convention of compressing all dex files in the APK.
This property is initialized from the com.android.build.api.dsl.DexPackaging.useLegacyPackaging DSL element, if set. If this property and the DSL are unset, dex files will be uncompressed when minSdk >= 28. If this property is set, the value will be fed directly to the corresponding Gradle tasks without extra logic.
This property does not affect dex file compression in APKs produced from app bundles.
