scope dependency submission to releaseRuntimeClasspath#8
Merged
Conversation
Report only the dependencies that ship in the published library by setting DEPENDENCY_GRAPH_INCLUDE_CONFIGURATIONS to releaseRuntimeClasspath. Build and test-tooling transitives (netty via the android test platform, wire via androidx.benchmark, httpclient via UTP) are never in the AAR, so Dependabot stops flagging advisories that cannot affect SDK consumers.

Limits the submitted dependency graph to what the published library actually ships, by setting
DEPENDENCY_GRAPH_INCLUDE_CONFIGURATIONS: releaseRuntimeClasspathon the gradle dependency-submission action.Why
netty, wire, and httpclient reach the dependency graph only through build/test tooling (Android Unified Test Platform / grpc-netty, androidx.benchmark, UTP) - never the AAR or app runtime. Submitting every configuration means Dependabot flags a stream of advisories against those transitives that cannot affect SDK consumers, which is the whack-a-mole we have been doing (alerts #21-#35).
After this change the graph contains only
releaseRuntimeClasspath(androidx.core, kotlin-stdlib, androidx.annotation, ...). Dependabot will auto-close the existing build-tool alerts on the next run and stop opening new ones for transitives we do not ship.Trade-off
Advisories in genuine build-time tooling will no longer surface here. That is the intent - those belong to the AGP/test-platform toolchain, not the SDK. The forced versions in settings.gradle.kts stay as-is (harmless; can be trimmed later if desired).
No code or published-API change.
