// By default, Android generates dependency metadata (a file containing information
// about all the dependencies used in the project) and includes it in both APKs and app bundles.
// This metadata is particularly useful for the Google Play Store, as it provides actionable
// feedback on potential issues with project dependencies. However, other platforms cannot
// utilize this metadata. For example, platforms like IzzyOnDroid, GitHub, and our website do not
// require or utilize the metadata.
// Since we only upload app bundles to the Play Store for kiwix app, dependency metadata
// is enabled for app bundles to leverage Google Play Store's analysis
// and feedback. For APKs distributed outside the Play Store, we exclude this metadata
// as they do not require this.
// See https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/issues/4053#issuecomment-2456951610 for details.
