Ubique Preset Gradle Plugin

This gradle plugin applies a preset of configurations we use at Ubique to an Android project.

Preset configuration

The following configurations are applied by this plugin:

• A default flavor dimension is created
• The applicationIdSuffix of each flavor (except prod) is set to .{flavor}
• Enable the generation of the BuildConfig class
• Adds a boolean flag IS_FLAVOR_<FLAVOR_NAME> to the BuildConfig for each flavor
• Configures the release buildType to enable ProGuard
• Ensures that R8 full mode is either disabled or explicitly enabled
• Excludes META-INF/*.version packaging resources from release builds
• Sets the sourceCompatibility and targetCompatibility to Java 17
• Sets the Kotlin jvmTarget to Java 17
• Sets the Kotlin compiler flag -Xannotation-default-target=param-property
• Sets the abortOnError flag of the lint options to false

In addition to automatically applying a preset configuration, this plugin also provides a few utility functions for usage in build scripts:

• Methods to read a property from either the project properties or a local.properties file in the module or project root
  • readProperty(propertyName) for nullable properties
  • readPropertyWithDefault(propertyName, defaultValue) for non-nullable properties

Usage

plugins {
	id("ch.ubique.gradle.preset") version "9.0.0"
}

The major and minor version goes in lockstep with the Android Gradle Plugin, also see Releases.

Deployment

Create a Release, setting the Tag to the desired version prefixed with a v.

Each release on Github will be deployed to Maven Central.
