Renovate gives the following warning:

Renovate failed to look up the following dependencies: Failed to look up maven package arm64-v8a:x86_64.

Here is the content in the affected file:

android {
    splits {
        abi {
            isEnable = true
            reset()
            include("arm64-v8a", "x86_64", "armeabi-v7a")
        }
    }

@Churro do you think this is a pattern which could be ignored? I searched for the string "include(" in our repo expecting to find some Gradle fixtures or tests but didn't find any

I think it's an edge case which could more easily be handled by a package rule that disables updates for the false dependency arm64-v8a:x86_64:armeabi-v7a.

renovate already had a list of methods to ignore, which was then replaced by a more generic approach (#21753). The reason this doesn't work here is because armeabi-v7a includes an integer (checked here), which is "unfortunately" enough to consider it a valid dependency.

We ended up using ignorePaths as the current rules are too permissive, resulting in false positive on something like

buildConfigField("long", "BUILD_TIME", "0")

as well.
