Release 0.7.0 is not fully defined yet, but some changes / improvements might be:

  • Remove WORKSPACE support (WORKSPACE support is default "off" in Bazel 8 and will be removed completely in Bazel 9)

  • Integration with rules_kotlin (e.g. compiling kt sources directly in android_library)

    • This could take some time so really this might be in a yet more remote 0.8.0

  • Finish moving all tool dependencies to rules_android repo (i.e. stop depending on the "remote android tools")

  • Improve APIs (the "processor pipeline") / framework for extending the Android rules

    • and ideally validating it by moving D8 and databinding support over

  • Use Starlark ProguardSpecInfo from rules_java
