## What’s Changed

The Step exports the mapping file in the final output dir, and ignores intermediate copies. This is only relevant for builds still exporting an `apk`, bundles (`*.aab`) include the mapping file.

### Breaking changes

Two input defaults changed, to ignore `intermediates` dir. It is not expected to cause actual breakage for most users.

**`mapping_file_exclude_filter`**

```diff
- */tmp/*
+ */tmp/*
+ */intermediates/*
+ *compose-mapping.txt

```

**`test_apk_file_exclude_filter`**

```diff
- (empty)
+ */intermediates/*

```

**If you want the previous behaviour** , set the old defaults explicitly:

```yaml
- gradle-runner@6:
    inputs:
    - mapping_file_exclude_filter: "*/tmp/*"
    - test_apk_file_exclude_filter: ""

```

**If you already set these inputs yourself** , note that a filter input _replaces_ the defaults rather than extending them, so copy the new patterns into your own list to get the fix:

```yaml
- mapping_file_exclude_filter: |-
    */tmp/*
    */intermediates/*
    *compose-mapping.txt
    */your-own-pattern/*

```

### Known limitation

With several minified variants in one build, each variant’s published `mapping.txt` still collides by name in the deploy directory, so all but the first get a timestamped name and `$BITRISE_MAPPING_PATH` still points at only one of them. Use `mapping_file_include_filter` to narrow the export to the variant you deploy, for example `*/productionRelease/mapping.txt`.
