Answer by Pier Betos for Use a specific minSdkVersion only in a Debug mode

It took me almost a day to create this script. Please take note of this for keepsake, but only use this as a last resort.

android.applicationVariants.all { variant ->    //Making specific variant disablements for faster build    if (variant.buildType.name.contains("debug")) {        println "Making min version to 21 and disabling multidex"        variant.mergedFlavor.setMultiDexEnabled false        def versionMin = new com.android.builder.core.DefaultApiVersion(21)        variant.mergedFlavor.setMinSdkVersion versionMin    }}
