Research direction

Start by reviewing rust-android-gradle's handling of Android build types and its Cargo profile configuration; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Compare the requested behavior with the referenced cargo-ndk-android-gradle project. Done means release and debug build types can select appropriate Cargo profiles, with additional per-buildType configuration supported.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I have two build types release and debug, and I'd like to set the cargo release profile depending on the build type (instead of using debug, which is bad in production, or using release, which is slow when developing or running in CI).

Example of my build types:

android {
    ...
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
        debug {
            applicationIdSuffix ".debug"
        }
    }
}

I noticed that https://github.com/willir/cargo-ndk-android-gradle did what I want by default, and supported additional configuration per-buildType. Is there a way to work around this? Or is the fix to support it easy?
