For #5961
Implementation
androidDefaultProguardFileNames
from the parent module, the android tests are working. It's not clear to me why, I found it due to some trial and error. To achieve this kind of inheritance without major rewiring I've moved the method toAndroidAppModule
Other fixes and cleanups
Outcome
This avoids packaging the main (app) module dependencies and source code into the test apk.
Result (Jetsnack)
Future work
I had some difficulties reaching this point and I think the 13MB reduction is very satisfiable at this stage. In the gradle's case, it appears some classes are erased by R8 but I haven't pinpointed exactly how it does it.
