list dependencies

build.gradle

android.applicationVariants.all { variant ->

    tasks.register("listDependencies${variant.name.capitalize()}") {

        outputs.upToDateWhen { project.rootProject.file("app/src/${variant.name}/assets/dependencies.txt").exists() }

        description = "Depdencies for ${variant.name.capitalize()}"

        dependsOn tasks.named("pre${variant.name.capitalize()}Build").get()

        final String filePath = "${project.rootDir}/app/src/${variant.name}/assets/dependencies.txt"

        def assetFolder = new File("${project.rootDir}/app/src/${variant.name}/assets/")
        if (!assetFolder.exists())
            assetFolder.mkdirs()

        final def output = new File(filePath)
        output.write("")

        configurations.getByName("${variant.name}RuntimeClasspath").getResolvedConfiguration().getFirstLevelModuleDependencies().each {
            println "${it.moduleGroup}:${it.moduleName} -> ${it.moduleVersion}"
            output.append("${it.moduleGroup}:${it.moduleName}:${it.moduleVersion}\n")
        }
    }
}

./gradlew listDependenciesDebug listDependenciesRelease

Really awesome. This helps me a lot. Thank you.

I've updated the task to gradle 7 and generating a file into the build variant asset folder, so you can parse it at runtime :)
