Exclude specific build variants

Question

I have the two default build types: debug / release and a couple of flavors: prod / dev.

Now I want to exclude the build variant dev-release, but keep all other poss

Answer 1

One more simpler way

android.variantFilter { variant ->
    if (variant.name == "qaDebug" || variant.name == "devRelease") {
        setIgnore(true)
    }
}

Or if you place this code inside android {} closure, android. can be omitted

android {
    // Please always specify the reason for such filtering
    variantFilter { variant ->
        if (variant.name == "qaDebug" || variant.name == "devRelease") {
            setIgnore(true)
        }
    }
}

Please always put a meaningful comment for things like this.

UPD: For Kotlin Gradle DSL there is another way:

android {
    variantFilter {
        ignore = listOf("qaDebug", "devRelease").contains(name)
    }
}
