Description

Relevant log output:

```
> Task :app:compileReleaseUnitTestKotlin FAILED
e: /Users/donturner/Code/workspace-android/architecture-samples/app/src/sharedTest/java/com/example/android/architecture/blueprints/todoapp/addedittask/AddEditTaskScreenTest.kt: (32, 60): Unresolved reference: HiltTestActivity
```

This is because `HiltTestActivity` is defined only for the `debug` source set so is not available for `release` builds.

Research direction

Start with the Gradle test failure and app/src/sharedTest/java/com/example/android/architecture/blueprints/todoapp/addedittask/AddEditTaskScreenTest.kt, then inspect where HiltTestActivity is defined and how the debug and release source sets are assembled. The work is done when gradlew test compiles the release unit tests without the unresolved-reference error.
