Different lint.xml for different build types in Android Studio?

Question

I want to use different lint.xml files for release and debug build types in Android Studio. So, how can this be achieved?

When

Answer 1

With kotlin build scripts (build.gradle.kts):

tasks.withType().configureEach {
    // doFirst is required else we get a Null Pointer Exception on lintOption
    doFirst {
        // This will override the lintOptions from the android extension
        lintOptions.run {
            if (name.toLowerCase().contains("debug")) {
                // Do your configuration here
                // isAbortOnError = true
                // baselineFile = file("baseline.xml")
                // isWarningsAsErrors = true
                // isCheckDependencies = true
                // ignore("MissingTranslation")
                // setLintConfig(file("lint.xml"))
            }
        }
    }
}
