I was playing around with AGP 7.3 and noticed that our native library doesn’t get packaged in the APK (other libs do). We don’t use the default src/[variant]/jniLibs dir but instead copy them dynamically and override the path like this

android.applicationVariants.configureEach { variant ->

    def nativeDir = file("$buildDir/native/${variant.name}")

    android.sourceSets[variantName].jniLibs.srcDirs = [nativeDir]

    // Set up tasks that download or build the native library
    ...
}

this works on 7.3.0-alpha07 but breaks from alpha08 . When I print the inputs for the mergeDebugJniLibFolders task I get this

on alpha07 and below

:app:mergeDebugJniLibFolders - input file: app/build/native/debug
:app:mergeDebugJniLibFolders - input file: app/src/main/jniLibs

on alpha08 and up

:app:mergeDebugJniLibFolders - input file: app/src/debug/jniLibs
:app:mergeDebugJniLibFolders - input file: app/src/main/jniLibs

Overriding jniLibs with androidComponents.onVariants { } still works

androidComponents {
    onVariants(selector().all()) { variant ->
        def nativeDir = file("$buildDir/native/${variant.name}")

        android.sourceSets[variantName].jniLibs.srcDirs = [nativeDir]
    }
}

android.applicationVariants.configureEach { variant ->

    // Set up tasks that download or build the native library
    ...
}
