## Public methods
### aarMetadata
```
abstract void aarMetadata(
@ExtensionFunctionType @NonNull Function1<@NonNull AarMetadata, Unit> action
)
```
Options for configuring AAR metadata.
### consumerProguardFile
```
abstract @NonNull Object consumerProguardFile(@NonNull Object proguardFile)
```
Adds a proguard rule file to be included in the published AAR.
This proguard rule file will then be used by any application project that consume the AAR (if proguard is enabled).
This allows AAR to specify shrinking or obfuscation exclude rules.
This is only valid for Library project. This is ignored in Application project.
This method has a return value for legacy reasons.
### consumerProguardFiles
```
abstract @NonNull Object consumerProguardFiles(@NonNull Object proguardFiles)
```
Adds proguard rule files to be included in the published AAR.
This proguard rule file will then be used by any application project that consume the AAR (if proguard is enabled).
This allows AAR to specify shrinking or obfuscation exclude rules.
This is only valid for Library project. This is ignored in Application project.
This method has a return value for legacy reasons.
### getAarMetadata
```
abstract @NonNull AarMetadata getAarMetadata()
```
Options for configuring AAR metadata.
### getConsumerProguardFiles
```
abstract @NonNull List<@NonNull File> getConsumerProguardFiles()
```
ProGuard rule files to be included in the published AAR.
These proguard rule files will then be used by any application project that consumes the AAR (if ProGuard is enabled).
This allows AAR to specify shrinking or obfuscation exclude rules.
This is only valid for Library project. This is ignored in Application project.
### getMultiDexEnabled
```
abstract Boolean getMultiDexEnabled()
```
Returns whether multi-dex is enabled.
This can be null if the flag is not set, in which case the default value is used.
### getSigningConfig
```
abstract ApkSigningConfig getSigningConfig()
```
The associated signing config or null if none are set on the variant dimension.
### setMultiDexEnabled
```
abstract void setMultiDexEnabled(Boolean multiDexEnabled)
```
Returns whether multi-dex is enabled.
This can be null if the flag is not set, in which case the default value is used.
### setSigningConfig
```
abstract void setSigningConfig(ApkSigningConfig signingConfig)
```
The associated signing config or null if none are set on the variant dimension.
