`MultipleArtifact`	Public `Artifact` for Android Gradle plugin.
`ScopedArtifact.CLASSES`	.class files, result of sources compilation and/or external dependencies depending on the scope; includes users' transformation, but does not include Jacoco instrumentation
`ScopedArtifact.JAVA_RES`

`SingleArtifact.BUNDLE`	The final Bundle ready for consumption at Play Store.
`SingleArtifact.MERGED_MANIFEST`	Merged manifest file that will be used in the APK, Bundle and InstantApp packages.
`SingleArtifact.MERGED_NATIVE_LIBS`	The directory containing all the native library (.so) files that will be packaged in the APK, AAR, or Bundle.
`SingleArtifact.METADATA_LIBRARY_DEPENDENCIES_REPORT`	The metadata for the library dependencies.
`SingleArtifact.OBFUSCATION_MAPPING_FILE`
`SingleArtifact.PUBLIC_ANDROID_RESOURCES_LIST`	A file containing the list of public resources exported by a library project.
`SingleArtifact.RUNTIME_SYMBOL_LIST`	The text symbol output file (R.txt) containing a list of resources and their ids (including of transitive dependencies).
`SingleArtifact`	Public `Artifact` for Android Gradle plugin.

Defines a type of artifact handled by the Android Gradle Plugin.

Each instance of Artifact is produced by a org.gradle.api.Task and potentially consumed by any number of tasks.

An artifact can potentially be produced by more than one task (each task acting in an additive behavior), but consumers must be aware when more than one artifact can be present, implementing the Multiple interface will indicate such requirement.

An artifact must be one of the supported ArtifactKind and must be provided when the constructor is called. ArtifactKind also defines the specific FileSystemLocation subclass used.

Summary

Nested types
`interface Artifact.Appendable` Denotes an artifact type that can be appended to.
`enum Artifact.Category : Enum` Defines the kind of artifact type. this will be used to determine the output file location for instance.
`interface Artifact.ContainsMany` Denotes a single `DIRECTORY` that may contain zero to many `com.android.build.api.variant.BuiltArtifact`.
`abstract class Artifact.Multiple<FileTypeT : FileSystemLocation> : Artifact` Denotes possible multiple `FileSystemLocation` instances for this artifact type.
`interface Artifact.Replaceable` Denotes an artifact type that can be replaced.
`abstract class Artifact.Single<FileTypeT : FileSystemLocation> : Artifact` Denotes a single `FileSystemLocation` instance of this artifact type at a given time.
`interface Artifact.Transformable` Denotes an artifact type that can transformed.

Public functions

getFileSystemLocationName

Added in 4.2.0

open fun getFileSystemLocationName(): String

Returns
`String`	Depending on `T`, returns the file name of the folder under the variant-specific folder or an empty string to use defaults.

getFolderName

Added in 4.2.0

open fun getFolderName(): String

Returns
`String`	The folder name under which the artifact files or folders should be stored.

name

Added in 4.2.0

fun name(): String

Provide a unique name for the artifact type. For external plugins defining new types, consider adding the plugin name to the artifact's name to avoid collision with other plugins.
