I recently noticed a new file generated at <module>/release/output.json
by Android Studio 3 Canary 1 each time I run Build
-> Generate Signed APK...
, which has contents that look like following.
Can anyone confirm seeing this behavior as well? Or is it due to some local configuration on my laptop?
And can anyone explain the purpose of this file? Is it safe to add to .gitignore
?
