- **added** — Build system checks for strict 1:1 flavor dimension parity between Android app modules and dynamic feature modules, reporting any missing, extra, or mismatched dimensions as build warnings
- **added** — Support for temporarily opting specific modules out of the new Variant API requirement before AGP 10 by using android.newDsl.optOut in gradle.properties
- **changed** — Dimension mismatch checks can be promoted to execution errors by enabling the android.enforceDynamicFeatureVariantMatching=true Gradle option

Android Gradle plugin 9.4 is a minor release that includes a variety of new features and improvements. Starting with AGP 10, the new Variant API is mandatory for all projects. To support a gradual migration, you can temporarily opt specific modules out of this requirement before AGP 10 by applying the following to your gradle.properties file. android.newDsl.optOut=:example-lib1. Starting in AGP 9.4, the build system checks for strict 1:1 flavor dimension parity between Android app modules and dynamic feature modules, reporting any missing, extra, or mismatched dimensions as build warnings. To help you prepare for stricter validation without breaking existing build pipelines, this check operates in warning mode by default, but can be promoted to an execution error by enabling the android.enforceDynamicFeatureVariantMatching=true Gradle option. From AGP 10.0 onwards, strict 1:1 variant parity will become enforced by default, turning all dimension mismatches between base apps and their dynamic feature modules into fatal build failures.
