Thanks for your detailed post.

However, benchmark build type is under configured: at least isProfileable is not set to true for existing build type, probably there's more.

We should set isProfileable = true by default when overriding an existing benchmark build type.

This issue is not about some specific configuration flag, but the general approach of dealing with external configuration. As a developer adopting baseline profiles, it seems extremely risky to me using a custom configuration due to how it's applied under the hood and the fact it may break default configuration.

I agree that is not great but this is a little tricky to do. For custom baseline profile build types we override all the properties. For benchmark I left it open to configure but it's mostly about these 2 properties:

isMinifyEnabled
isShrinkResources

I don't have a way to see if the user is setting them before overriding, so for this reason, I'd prefer not to. I agree with you that some other properties could be set by default to make this easier, i.e.:

isJniDebuggable = false
isDebuggable = false
isProfileable = true

The reason why I mentioned the release signing config in the beginning is because I want to use debug signing config.

In the specific of your issue, i.e. using a debug certificate can you override the benchmark and baseline profile setting? You should be able to do something like:

android {
    buildTypes {
        release { ... }
        debug { ... }
        benchmarkRelease {
            ...
            signingConfig signingConfigs.debug
        }
        nonMinifiedRelease {
            ...
            signingConfig signingConfigs.debug
        }
    }
}

Added override for debuggable and profileable for benchmark builds in bpgp

Added override for debuggable and profileable for benchmark builds in bpgp

Test: ./gradlew :benchmark:benchmark-baseline-profile-gradle-plugin:test
Bug: 369213505
Relnote: "isProfileable is always overridden in benchmark builds,
  and isDebuggable is also now always overridden in both benchmark and
  nonMinified (baseline profile capture) builds."
Change-Id: I487fa71083921682173f04fcbb477be5baf165f8

I've landed a change that will set the following properties also when the benchmark build type already exists:

isJniDebuggable = false
isDebuggable = false
isProfileable = true

As well as the following for agp 8.0:

isDebuggable = false

I'm going ahead and closing this - if you've further questions please answer here and will reopen. Thanks.

The following release(s) address this bug.It is possible this bug has only been partially addressed:

• androidx.benchmark:benchmark-baseline-profile-gradle-plugin:1.4.0-alpha04

Since release signing config is used by default instead of debug is not mentioned in release notes - maybe this is a bug?

Cause the last time I found it mentioned in the release notes was in version 1.1

signingConfig.debug is used as the default signing config (b/153583269)

So, if the switch to the release one indeed happened - maybe it's an issue?

The new build types should inherit the certificates from the release build type, unless none is specified in which case debug is used: code link

This should be updated in the documentation, thanks for mentioning it. Will take care of updating it.

Relatedly, b/171298014 filed against API guidelines. We'll want to recommend @DoNotInline.

We've got a couple of other baseline clean-up tasks pending. At some point we'll run a Fix It by dumping all the baselines into a spreadsheet and automating the bug filing.

For now, we can send an email explaining (1) that we baselined violations across almost every library, (2) violations are known to lead to crashes on certain device versions, and (3) how to see where you violations are (ex. run the linter from Studio).

I can handle that if you've got other P1's to close out, just assign to me.

Bugs filed and discussion kicked off on how to best address them.

This bug was linked in a change in the following release(s):

• androidx.drawerlayout:drawerlayout:1.2.0-alpha01
