registerExtension

fun <T : Any?> registerExtension(type: Class<T?>?, instance: T?): Unit

Registers an extension object to the variant object. Extension objects can be looked up during the AndroidComponentsExtension.onVariants callbacks by using the Variant.getExtension API.

This is very useful for third party plugins that want to attach some variant specific configuration object to the Android Gradle Plugin variant object and make it available to other plugins.

Parameters
type: Class<T?>?

the registered object type (can be a supertype of instance), this is the type that must be passed to the Variant.getExtension API.
instance: T?

the object to associate to the AGP Variant object.
