Will dynamic feature modules be supported?

[Alex Saveau]

Currently, checkDependencies doesn't work on the app module with dynamic-feature modules. It will check upstream dependencies, but not the downstream dynamic modules. See https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/113198298#comment5

Yes, we should support that. It looks like in this example there's some code running during the build (https://github.com/SUPERCILEX/Robot-Scouter/blob/0f2b9c8f562b2e8aa79f5a738fb0f321c067e60f/app/android-base/build.gradle.kts#L13-L15) which produces a set of dependencies; lint has trouble statically analyzing arbitrary code that runs (it's basically the halting problem, though of course we have a lot of pattern matching to find common problems in code). On the other hand, if that code is executed such that the dependency model lint is handed includes them, lint should be able to see it and handle it properly.

Any update about the support for dynamic feature modules, now that dynamic features are out of beta? 

The UnusedResources lint check thinks that drawable and strings are unused (in my core module), but they are used in the dynamic feature modules (package name prefixed R import)

Thanks,
