    DeepLink query params now allow {argName} values for String types
   
    For arguments of NavType<String>, arg values that are in the form of curly braces around argument name is now allowed as valid values. For all other types, this value is still considered as invalid (or absent of argument value).
   
    Internal tests have been updated to reflect this new change. To be precise:
   
    1. NavControllerRouteTest.kt - tests that are setup with absence of value were passing values of {argName} with StringType. Since this is no longer processed as absence of value, StringType has been changed to IntArrayType.
   
    2. NavDeepLinkTest - likewise as NavControllerRouteTest.kt, with additional new test to assert that {argName} is invalid for non-String types.
   
    Test: ./gradlew navigation:navigation-common:cC
    Test: ./gradlew navigation:navigation-runtime:cC
    Bug: 327274038
    Relnote: "Query parameters in DeepLink now allows values in the form of curly braces around argument name (i.e. {argName}) as valid values for string-based NavTypes. This contrasts with before where such a value would be considered invalid (or absence of value) for all types."

Either I'm doing something wrong with version 1.0.0-alpha04 or something is broken. After updating the gradle file and replacing app:type with app:argType it seems that all arguments in the generated classes are strings. In picture 1 (see attachments) I'm declaring an activity with requires an non-nollable integer. In picture 2 there's the declaration for a fragments with has an action to show the activity from picture 1. As you can see in picture 3, the generated argument type is string and not interger.
Am I missing something or is it a bug?

did you update your safe args plugin classpath to alpha04 as well or just the runtime navigation library dependency?

It's always the little things... Thanks a lot for the hint, now it's working! :)
