Android Studio: How to exclude google-services module in product flavor?

Question

In my Android project, there are several product flavors:

buildTypes {
    release {}
    debug {}
    staging {}
}

productFlavors {
    freeVersion {}
             


        

Answer 1

Another solution is to disable the task the google-services plugin adds - here I enable the task if the flavorName is not "freeVersion" but this logic can clearly be updated to say look at the variants buildType instead.

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

// must be after the plugin is applied otherwise no tasks will be found
android.applicationVariants.all { variant ->
    def googleTask = tasks.findByName("process${variant.name.capitalize()}GoogleServices")
    googleTask.enabled = !"freeVersion".equals(variant.flavorName)
}
