Using the baseline profile gradle plugin, the startup-prof.txt is copied into src/sourceSet/generated/baselineProfiles by default.

The file is not being picked up by AGP when compiling the release build

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

checkout this branch of the sample app
find the startup profile at android/app/src/main/generated/baselineProfiles/startup-prof.txt
replace the content of the file with something that won't compile e.g. foo
run ./gradlew assembleProdRelease
the build will still finish successfully
now move the modified startup-prof.txt to android/app/src/main/baselineProfiles
run ./gradlew assembleProdRelease
the build now fails as expected: ERROR: /path/android/app/build/intermediates/merged_startup_profile/prodRelease/mergeProdReleaseStartupProfile/startup-prof.txt: R8: Unable to parse rule at line 1 from ART profile: foo
