General Notes:
- 
      Added support for the com.android.build.threadPoolSizeproperty to control theAndroidtask thread pool size from thegradle.propertiesfile or the command line. The following example sets this property to 4.-Pcom.android.build.threadPoolSize=4
- Set the default build behavior to exclude LICENSEandLICENSE.txtfiles from APKs. To include these files in an APK, remove these files from thepackagingOptions.excludesproperty in thebuild.gradlefile. For example:android { packagingOptions.excludes = [] } android { packagingOptions.excludes.clear() } 
- Added the sourceSetstask to inspect the set of all available source sets.
- Enhanced unit test support to recognize multi-flavor and
      
      build variant  source folders. For example, to test an app with multi-flavors
      flavor1andflavorAwith theDebugbuild type, the test source sets are:- test
- testFlavor1
- testFlavorA
- testFlavor1FlavorA
- testFlavor1FlavorADebug
 Android tests already recognized multi-flavor source folders. 
- Improved unit test support to:
      - Run javacon main and test sources, even if theuseJackproperty is set totruein your build file.
- Correctly recognize dependencies for each build type.
 
- Run 
- Added support for specifying instrumentation test-runner arguments from the command line.
      For example:
      ./gradlew connectedCheck 
 -Pandroid.testInstrumentationRunnerArguments.size=medium
 -Pandroid.testInstrumentationRunnerArguments.class=TestA,TestB
- Added support for arbitrary additional Android Asset Packaging Tool (AAPT) parameters in the - build.gradlefile. For example:- android { aaptOptions { additionalParameters "--custom_option", "value" } } - android { aaptOptions { additionalParameters += listOf("--custom_option", "value") } } 
- Added support for a 
      test APK module as a separate test module, using the
      targetProjectPathandtargetVariantproperties to set the APK path and target variant.Note: A test APK module does not support product flavors and can only target a single variant. Also, Jacoco is not supported yet. 
- Added resource name validation before merging resources.
- When building an AAR (Android ARchive) package for library modules, do not provide an
      automatic @{applicationId}placeholder in the manifest merger settings. Instead, use a different placeholder, such as@{libApplicationId}and provide a value for it if you want to include application Ids in the archive library.
