Strip Google Play Services Packages

strip_google_play_services.gradle

import groovy.transform.Field

// This is a drop-in Gradle script that allows you to easily strip out the packages you don't need
// from the Google Play Services library. The script will keep track of previous runs to prevent
// restripping each time you build.

// HOW TO USE THIS
//
// 1) Download/copy this strip_google_play_services.gradle file into the same location of your app's
//    build.gradle file.
//
// 2) In your app's build.gradle file, add the following underneath the Android application plugin
//    declaration:
//
//          apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
//          apply from: 'strip_google_play_services.gradle'          <--- ADD THIS
//
// 3) Tweak the packagesToStrip map (below) to suit your needs. Set the boolean value to 'false' if you'd
//    like the package to NOT be stripped.
//
// 4) Optional: Add or remove items from the additionalPackagesToStrip map. The current value in
//    there does not have the same package prefix as the rest.

// NOTE: The packages list below are based on the Google Play Services package index found at the
// following location: http://developer.android.com/reference/gms-packages.html
// This list is current as of version 6.1.71.
//
// The 'common' package was not included in the list because its... well... common to all packages
// and cannot be removed.

// THANKS to Dario Marcato & Cedric Gatay for providing the starting point.

Glad to see it helped ;)

Does this script works only for play services 6.1.71??Will the future versions support this script?
