See`aapt --help`
### getIgnoreAssetsPattern
```
abstract String getIgnoreAssetsPattern()
```
Pattern describing assets to be ignored.
This is[ignoreAssetsPatterns](https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/8.3/null/com/android/build/api/dsl/AndroidResources#ignoreAssetsPatterns())joined by ':'.
### getIgnoreAssetsPatterns
