[Andriod] duplicate class error when I use release based buildType but use dependency that debug variant uses

Help/Discuss

I added a new buildType called “qa” in gradle and it inherits from release.

android {
    buildTypes {
        debug {
        }
        qa {
            initWith release
            debuggable true
        }
        release {
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    debugImplementation "com.github.chuckerteam.chucker:library:4.0.0"
    qaImplementation "com.github.chuckerteam.chucker:library:4.0.0"
    releaseImplementation "com.github.chuckerteam.chucker:library-no-op:4.0.0"
}

I want QA builds to allow chucker HTTP traffic monitoring enabled. However, I get duplicate classes error:

Duplicate class com.chuckerteam.chucker.api.BodyDecoder found in modules library-4.0.0.aar -> library-4.0.0-runtime (com.github.chuckerteam.chucker:library:4.0.0) and library-no-op-4.0.0.aar -> library-no-op-4.0.0-runtime (com.github.chuckerteam.chucker:library-no-op:4.0.0)

Is it because the qa build type has “initwith” release and the no-op version of the library is also added to the classpath that causes duplicate classes error?

The build task is ./gradlew assembleQa.

How do I exclude the no-op version of the dependency when I just building Qa type build?

Note: I am not using kotlin dsl here. Debug/release builds are fine.
