Determine build variant of app from inside an SDK library code
My question:
How to get the build variant of an app hosting my AAR library code?
Background:
- A method that returns an apps build variant should use:
BuildConfig.BUILD_TYPE
I'm writing an SDK library. I want to know the build variant of the application hosting my library (mainly to avoid running my code in release variant).
BuildConfig.BUILD_TYPE is package dependant, I don't know the package of the app hosting me and BuildConfig has no getter. I can't ask for the host app's BuildConfig.

your idea likely will fail. Why?releaseis just a name, which can be totally anything. For example I don't use thereleasebuild type for some of my projects. I call themrelease<Environment>. Even more - you can name the build typedebug, but configure it as release. So using build type to limit production usage of your lib is not going to work
