FlatDeps

Output all the dependencies of Android application or library.
Requires Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) 7.x or higher.

Normally, running ./gradlew :${module}:dependencies prints a full dependency tree.
However, most of the time, we just want the final, flattened list of dependencies for each app variant.
This plugin does exactly that — simple and clean.

How to use

• Add the plugin to module’s build.gradle:

  plugins {
      id 'io.github.y4n9b0.flatDeps' version '1.0.1'
  }

• Run the Gradle task to output dependencies into: ${module}/build/outputs/dependencies/flatDeps${variant}.txt

  ./gradlew clean :${module}:flatDepsDebug
  ./gradlew clean :${module}:flatDepsRelease
  ./gradlew clean :${module}:flatDeps

  Example output (sorted in ascending order):

  androidx.activity:activity:1.8.0
  androidx.annotation:annotation:1.9.1
  androidx.annotation:annotation-experimental:1.4.1
  androidx.annotation:annotation-jvm:1.9.1

Development & Test

• Modify the FlatDepsPlugin class as needed.
• Bump the plugin version in the plugin module’s build.gradle.
• Publish the plugin to your local Maven repository:

  ./gradlew clean :flatDeps:publishToMavenLocal

• In your app module, update the plugin dependency to use the new local version and verify that it works as expected. Make sure to include mavenLocal() in plugin repositories:

  pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
    }
  }

• After verifying the plugin works locally, commit your changes.

Publish

• To validate a Plugin Portal publication (no upload):

  ./gradlew clean :flatDeps:publishPlugins --validate-only

• To publish to the Gradle Plugin Portal:

  ./gradlew clean :flatDeps:publishPlugins

Todo

• List .so files of each dependency (if present)
