Ability to set custom build id in gradle files

[SilentCatD]

Hello, while generating new BUILD_ID in android side has its uses, it also causes changing .dex file in native android code.
This makes integration with code push (shorebird) not suitable for android.

I would like to ask if we have any other way working around this, like set the BUILD_ID to specific value in some gradle files

I'm reading VarientAdapter.groovy file inside newrelic-android-agent
If I understood it right, it also read value from the file .metadata to set buildId before falling back to uuid.

Can we create that file beforehand then run the build? If so, what value format should it be?
Do you happen to know about this @ndesai-newrelic
