Use different VersionCode for Debug/Release android gradle build

Question

I\'d like to apply different VersionCode to make apk file. For debug only fix it to 1, and for release whatever number specified in defaultConf

Answer 1

Me too, but I think defaultConfig.versionCode was set when build.gradle be compiling. It's global static variable, and assigned at compiletime, not runtime.

I think we can intercept gradle task execution, and modify defaultConfig.versionCode at runtime.
