For example if you use an android submodule in your project and you call it from the code of the submodule it will reference to build config of the submodule which may have different version. Or if you call it from the code of your project you may reference by mistake to build config of your submodule and get the same result. Just be careful and double check that you reference to a proper package of the build config. | |
