Don't generate BuildConfig - Gradle Kotlin DSL

Question

To disable generating BuildConfig with the Groovy DSL, one could do the following:

afterEvaluate {
    generateReleaseBuildConfig.enabled = false
    generateDebugBuildConfig.enabled = false
}

I am trying to find the equivalent when using Gradle's Kotlin DSL (build.gradle.kts). Anyone have any luck with this?

If you have Android Studio 4.1 or greater you can use the Build Features Field to disable it per module.

android {
    ...

    buildFeatures {
        buildConfig = false
        resValues = false
    }
}

It's actually by default now on the latest gradle alpha version – android developer Apr 22 '23 at 19:47

I ended up finding this to work as well:

android { ... }

tasks.withType<GenerateBuildConfig> {
    isEnabled = false
}

You can remove BuildConfig from all variants by adding the following:

For library

android {
    ...

    // TODO replace with https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/72050365 once released.
    libraryVariants.all {
        generateBuildConfigProvider?.get()?.enabled = false
    }
}

For application

android {
    ...

    // TODO replace with https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/72050365 once released.
    applicationVariants.all {
        generateBuildConfigProvider?.get()?.enabled = false
    }
}

If you want to specify a build type , then:

libraryVariants
    .matching { it.buildType.name == "release"}
    .all {
        generateBuildConfigProvider?.get()?.enabled = false
    }
}
