What is alternative to `variant.resValue` with AGP 7.0.0+?

I am trying to migrate to Android Gradle Plugin 7.

I have the following code that needs migration:

applicationVariants.all { variant ->
  // do some processing to obtain string apiKeyValue
  variant.resValue "string", "api_key", apiKeyValue
}

I have looked at the migration blog post here android developers blog but still no clear reference to how to create dynamic

resValue

Any thoughts?

I also tried to use something similar to

androidComponents {
    onVariants(selector().all(), { variant ->
      // do some processing to obtain string apiKeyValue
      addResValue("api_key", "string", apiKeyValue, "Value from variant")
    })
}

But no luck as

addResValue

method is not found.

For groovy and AGP 7.2.1 old way still works. Only keys for resValues now have type prefix ie "string/app_name". instead of "app_name".

android{
    applicationVariants.all{ variant ->
        def strRes = variant.mergedFlavor.resValues.get("string/app_name")
        if(strRes != null){
            println( "string/app_name = " + strRes.getValue())
            variant.resValue 'string', 'app_name', "${strRes}New"
        }
    }
}

After a bit of searching and trial and error, the following code worked for me:

androidComponents {
  onVariants(selector().all(), { variant ->
    // do some processing to obtain string apiKeyValue
    variant.resValues.put(variant.makeResValueKey("string", "api_key"), new ResValue(apiKeyValue, "Variant Name"))
  })
}

The above code is a snippet from my build.gradle file. I took inspiration from here gradle-recipes
