What is a Gradle product flavor?
This tests your understanding of build variants beyond debug/release. Define flavors for user-facing versions (free/pro), contrast with build types, and configure with `applicationIdSuffix` and `buildConfigField`.
This tests your practical knowledge of creating different app versions from one codebase. A great answer defines flavors, contrasts them with build types, and shows a `build.gradle` example using `applicationIdSuffix` and `buildConfigField` for a free/pro setup. Mentioning flavor-specific source sets (`src/pro/java`) demonstrates senior-level depth. A red flag is suggesting runtime checks instead of compile-time `BuildConfig` flags, which is less efficient and secure.
