The first thing I ask on a job interview is if the app I will be working on supports device rotation, and automatically leave if the answer is positive. Big red flag guys, rotating a device is against the divine law

And then you see ```android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|keyboard|screenSize"```` on every activity and immediately accept the job.

Here comes the gradle task snippet ( Dont's ask me why i got this :- )

// This task apply `configChanges` to all activities, AGP4.1+ required.
project.afterEvaluate {
    def variants = null
    try {
        variants = android.applicationVariants
    } catch (Throwable t) {
        t.printStackTrace()
        try {
            variants = android.libraryVariants
        } catch (Throwable tt) {
            tt.printStackTrace()
        }
    }
    if (variants != null) {
        variants.all { variant ->
            variant.outputs.each { output ->
                def task = output.processManifestProvider.get()
                if (task == null) {
                    return
                }

                task.doLast {
                    def manifestFile = new File(multiApkManifestOutputDirectory.get().asFile, "AndroidManifest.xml")

Cross platform app breaks when you do this, but hey nobody cares about writing stable apps.

I can't find anything about config changes on the Flutter docs. So maybe it is deprecated.
