Some limitations currently, filed issues. Some are possibly resolved with AGP 7.1, others TBD

Expose javaCompileProvider - https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/199411019
- Possibly resolved by using ALL_CLASSES_DIRS or ALL_CLASSES_JARS, needs testing
Expose runtimeConfiguration - https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/199436586
- Possible resolvable by just interpolating the known name from the variant name, which is something like <variant name>AndroidTestRuntimeClasspath and <variant name>RuntimeClasspath
Expose isMinifyEnabled - https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/199411018
Expose isCodeLibraryDesugaringEnabled - https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/199411020
- Impossible to read from AppExtension and use the new APIs as the former requires waiting for an afterEvaluate block and that's too late to use the new variant APIs
