Support custom build variants on Android #11095
Description
I'm trying to integrate Flutter into an existing Android app, and had to disable our "beta" custom build variant otherwise Flutter refuses to compile - even if that particular variant isn't selected.
Are there any plans to support custom build variants, or should I start working on an alternative configuration switch?
Steps to Reproduce
Add a custom variant to an existing Android app/build.gradle:
beta {
initWith release
applicationIdSuffix ".beta"
versionNameSuffix "-beta"
}Logs
$ flutter run
Launching lib/main.dart on Pixel in debug mode...
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* Where:
Script '/home/cachapa/flutter/packages/flutter_tools/gradle/flutter.gradle' line: 195
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'android'.
> A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> Build variant must be one of "debug", "profile", or "release" but was "beta"
