Versions 4.3 and 5.0 don't work with custom build types, but version 4.2 did!

[fulcrum6378]

First of all, thank you for developing such a useful utility. I've been using it for a year.

Because of some app signing reasons I had to make a very simple custom build type: "debuggee" instead of "debug". Like this:

    defaultConfig {
        ...
        signingConfig signingConfigs.main
    }
    buildTypes {
        debuggee {
            debuggable true
            minifyEnabled false
        }
        release {
            ...
        }
    }

At first I used the version 4.2 and everything was fine.
But when you released the versions 4.3 and even 5.0 and I upgraded, I always encountered a weird error in the assembleDebugee Gradle process (not the initial build).
It's been months since I encounter this error, therefore I downgraded it to 4.2 and suppressed the upgrade warning using "//noinspection GradleDependency".

Here's a complete log of the assembleDebuggee Gradle process:

There is also a weird warning every time I switch between build types, no matter it is release, debug or debuggee:

Thank you again.

Same here...

Oh I didn't see this issue before: #170

At least I know when this happened, which is when the project version went from 4.2 to 4.3.

I compared the related commits to v4.2 and v4.3 releases and the only Gradle-related changes that had been done were 2 things:

1. Gradle config files were migrated from Groovy to Kotlin DSL (which don't seem to have caused this problem)
2. AGP version 4.1.3 was upgraded to 7.1.3 and "gradle-6.6-all.zip" to "gradle-7.4.2-bin.zip".

Here's another guy in StackOverflow with the same situation (the 2nd one above) and the same problem:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64758477/android-buildtypes-vs-productflavors-error
The guy had upgraded from AGP 3.5.x to 4.10 (and to Gradle 6.5).
So it seems that it would throw the same error on a custom build flavor too!!

Using this guide, I found a solution for the module which implements a custom build variant:
https://developer.android.com/build/build-variants#resolve_matching_errors

    buildTypes {
        create("debuggee") {
            ...
            matchingFallbacks += listOf("debug")
        }
    }

    buildTypes {
        debuggee {
            ...
            matchingFallbacks = ['debug']
        }
    }

But is there a solution for the library NOT TO REQUIRE ALL THESE EFFORTS, just like the other libraries?

Should be fixed in version 5.1.0
