Cannot compile with custom buildType

[axrkozlov]

Hi!
I have buildType named 'dev' and can't compile my project with splitters library com.louiscad.splitties:splitties-fun-pack-android-base:3.0.0-beta01.

StackTrace:
Execution failed for task ':app:dataBindingMergeDependencyArtifactsDev'.

Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:devCompileClasspath'.
Could not resolve com.louiscad.splitties:splitties-fun-pack-android-base:3.0.0-beta01.

With debug and release types the project is compiling.

Hi, you need to use matchingFallbacks.

@LouisCAD Thank's a lot! I was really puzzled by the error messages. Thank's for this hint!

In case anyone else finds this issue, here is the actual documentation:

@LouisCAD @felixdivo Could you please elaborate a bit on the solution?

@LouisCAD @felixdivo Could you please elaborate a bit on the solution?

Not really, TBH. I don't really remember this issue or how to solve it. Sorry.

My next hint is to Google the hint I gave earlier, @zuinqstudio.
