Model for variant components that only contains build-time properties
Variant components are the main output of the plugin (e.g. APKs, AARs). They contain references to optional secondary components (tests, fixtures)
It is the object passed to the[AndroidComponentsExtension.onVariants](https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/8.10/com/android/build/api/variant/AndroidComponentsExtension#onVariants(com.android.build.api.variant.VariantSelector,kotlin.Function1))method, like this:
```gdscript
androidComponents {
onVariants(selector().all()) { variant: Variant ->
}
}
```
Note that depending on the actual implementation of[AndroidComponentsExtension](https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/8.10/com/android/build/api/variant/AndroidComponentsExtension), the object received may be of a child type. For instance[ApplicationAndroidComponentsExtension.onVariants](https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/8.10/com/android/build/api/variant/ApplicationAndroidComponentsExtension#onVariants(com.android.build.api.variant.VariantSelector,kotlin.Function1))will pass[ApplicationVariant](https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/8.10/com/android/build/api/variant/ApplicationVariant)to the lambda.

### buildConfigFields
Added in 4.2.0
```
val buildConfigFields: MapProperty>?

```
val components: List
```
List containing this variant and all of its[nestedComponents](https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/8.10/com/android/build/api/variant/Variant#nestedComponents())
Example:
```gdscript
androidComponents.onVariants(selector().withName("debug")) {
// components contains the debug variant along with its unitTests, androidTests, and
// testFixtures (if enabled).
components.forEach { component ->
component.runtimeConfiguration
.resolutionStrategy
.dependencySubstitution {
substitute(project(":foo")).using(project(":bar"))
}
}
}
```
### experimentalProperties
Added in 7.0.0
```
val experimentalProperties: MapProperty
```
Additional per variant experimental properties.
Initialized from[com.android.build.api.dsl.CommonExtension.experimentalProperties](https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/8.10/com/android/build/api/dsl/CommonExtension#experimentalProperties())
Values provided should not be based on a Task execution result, as most of these properties are read during configuration.
### externalNativeBuild
Added in 7.0.0
```
val externalNativeBuild: ExternalNativeBuild?
```
Variant's cmake[ExternalNativeBuild](https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/8.10/com/android/build/api/variant/ExternalNativeBuild), initialized by merging the product flavor values or null if no cmake external build is configured for this variant.
### manifestPlaceholders
Added in 4.2.0
```

### nestedComponents
Added in 7.1.0
```
val nestedComponents: List
```
List of the components nested in this variant, the returned list will contain:
- [UnitTest](https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/8.10/com/android/build/api/component/UnitTest)component if the unit tests for this variant are enabled,
- [AndroidTest](https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/8.10/com/android/build/api/variant/AndroidTest)component if this variant[HasDeviceTests](https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/8.10/com/android/build/api/variant/HasDeviceTests)and android tests for this variant are enabled,
- [TestFixtures](https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/8.10/com/android/build/api/variant/TestFixtures)component if this variant[HasTestFixtures](https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/8.10/com/android/build/api/variant/HasTestFixtures)and test fixtures for this variant are enabled.
Use this list to do operations on all nested components of this variant without having to manually check whether the variant has each component.
Example:
```gdscript
androidComponents.onVariants(selector().withName("debug")) {
// will return unitTests, androidTests, testFixtures for the debug variant (if enabled).
nestedComponents.forEach { component ->
