How to set FlavorDimensions in AGP 7.0.0?

Question

Since Android Studio Arctic Fox has reached stable recently, our team has decided to make the switch. However, we hit some roadblocks while upgrading our project to use the latest AGP, from 4.2.1 to 7.0.0

Below is our old app/build.gradle.kts:

android {
    
    flavorDimensions("environment")

    productFlavors {
    
        create("development") {
            dimension("environment")
            ...
        }
        
        create("staging") {
            dimension("environment")
            ...
        }
        
        create("production") {
            dimension("environment")
            ...
        }
    }
    
}

We managed to replace dimension("environment") with dimension = "environment", but we are not able to use the same approach for flavorDimensions.

flavorDimensions = listOf("environment") // syntax error because it's immutable

Any help would be gladly appreciated.

Spec for flavorDimensions showing it as val, hence not assignable

Since it's a MutableList, we can just add it directly

flavorDimensions.add("environment")

Updates:

Alternatively, a more favourable writing style in Kotlin:

flavorDimensions += "environment"

**You Qi** Thanks a lot, spent an hour reading carefully doc to understand why **flavorDimensions** doesn't work. Thanks **Google** – amatkivskiy Aug 23 '21 at 15:35

Or more kotlin style `flavorDimensions += "environment"` – Kiwi Lin May 26 '22 at 02:14
