App

io.github.thomaskioko.gradle.plugins.app

For an Android application module. Applies the Android application plugin and the Android plugin from this suite, so everything on the Android page is available here too, and adds an app {} block for the things only an application has.

plugins {
    id("io.github.thomaskioko.gradle.plugins.app")
}

scaffold {
    app {
        applicationId("com.example.myapp")
        minify()
    }
    android {
        useCompose()
    }
}

Options

Option What it does
applicationId(applicationId) Sets the application identifier
applicationIdSuffix(buildType, suffix) Adds a suffix on the named build type, so two variants can be installed side by side
minify(vararg files) Turns on R8 for the release build type and adds the named rules
useFirebase() Connects Firebase when a google-services.json is present, and skips it when there is not, so a checkout without one still builds

Version and release tasks

An application module also gets bumpVersion and release, which read and rewrite a version.txt at the root of the project holding VERSION_NUMBER and BUILD_NUMBER.

./gradlew bumpVersion -Ptype=minor

type takes major, minor, patch or beta.
