If left empty, `platform#current` is implied. This value affects all modules included in this APEX. In other words, they are also built with the SDKs specified here.
 vendor bool, whether this module is specific to an SoC (System-On-a-Chip). When set to true, it is installed into /vendor (or /system/vendor if vendor partition does not exist). Use `soc_specific` instead for better meaning.
 vintf_fragments list of strings, VINTF manifest fragments to be installed if this module is installed
 visibility list of strings, Controls the visibility of this module to other modules. Allowable values are one or more of these formats: 

 ["//visibility:public"]: Anyone can use this module.
 ["//visibility:private"]: Only rules in the module's package (not its subpackages) can use
     this module.
 ["//visibility:override"]: Discards any rules inherited from defaults or a creating module.
     Can only be used at the beginning of a list of visibility rules.
 ["//some/package:__pkg__", "//other/package:__pkg__"]: Only modules in some/package and
     other/package (defined in some/package/*.bp and other/package/*.bp) have access to
     this module. Note that sub-packages do not have access to the rule; for example,
     //some/package/foo:bar or //other/package/testing:bla wouldn't have access. __pkg__
     is a special module and must be used verbatim. It represents all of the modules in the
     package.
 ["//project:__subpackages__", "//other:__subpackages__"]: Only modules in packages project
     or other or in one of their sub-packages have access to this module. For example,
     //project:rule, //project/library:lib or //other/testing/internal:munge are allowed
     to depend on this rule (but not //independent:evil)
 ["//project"]: This is shorthand for ["//project:__pkg__"]
 [":__subpackages__"]: This is shorthand for ["//project:__subpackages__"] where
     //project is the module's package. e.g. using [":__subpackages__"] in
     packages/apps/Settings/Android.bp is equivalent to
     //packages/apps/Settings:__subpackages__.
 ["//visibility:legacy_public"]: The default visibility, behaves as //visibility:public
     for now. It is an error if it is used in a module.
If a module does not specify the `visibility` property then it uses the `default_visibility` property of the `package` module in the module's package. If the `default_visibility` property is not set for the module's package then it will use the `default_visibility` of its closest ancestor package for which a `default_visibility` property is specified. If no `default_visibility` property can be found then the module uses the global default of `//visibility:legacy_public`. The `visibility` property has no effect on a defaults module although it does apply to any non-defaults module that uses it. To set the visibility of a defaults module, use the `defaults_visibility` property on the defaults module; not to be confused with the `default_visibility` property on the package module. See https://android.googlesource.com/platform/build/soong/+/master/README.md#visibility for more details.

 device_specific bool, whether this module is specific to a device, not only for SoC, but also for off-chip peripherals. When set to true, it is installed into /odm (or /vendor/odm if odm partition does not exist, or /system/vendor/odm if both odm and vendor partitions do not exist). This implies `soc_specific:true`.
⊕dist
 targets list of strings, copy the output of this module to the $DIST_DIR when `dist` is specified on the command line and any of these targets are also on the command line, or otherwise built
 dest string, The name of the output artifact. This defaults to the basename of the output of the module.

 suffix string, A suffix to add to the artifact file name (before any extension).
 enabled bool, emit build rules for this module Disabling a module should only be done for those modules that cannot be built in the current environment. Modules that can build in the current environment but are not usually required (e.g. superceded by a prebuilt) should not be disabled as that will prevent them from being built by the checkbuild target and so prevent early detection of changes that have broken those modules.
 filename string, optional name for the installed apex. If unspecified, name of the module is used as the file name
 host_required list of strings, names of other modules to install on host if this module is installed

 notice string, relative path to a file to include in the list of notices for the device
 overrides list of strings, names of modules to be overridden. Listed modules can only be other binaries (in Make or Soong). This does not completely prevent installation of the overridden binaries, but if both binaries would be installed by default (in PRODUCT_PACKAGES) the other binary will be removed from PRODUCT_PACKAGES.
 owner string, vendor who owns this module
 prefer bool, When prefer is set to true the prebuilt will be used instead of any source module with a matching name.
 prerelease bool, apexes in this set use prerelease SDK version
 product_specific bool, whether this module is specific to a software configuration of a product (e.g. country, network operator, etc). When set to true, it is installed into /product (or /system/product if product partition does not exist).

 ["//some/package:__pkg__", "//other/package:__pkg__"]: Only modules in some/package and
     other/package (defined in some/package/*.bp and other/package/*.bp) have access to
     this module. Note that sub-packages do not have access to the rule; for example,
     //some/package/foo:bar or //other/package/testing:bla wouldn't have access. __pkg__
     is a special module and must be used verbatim. It represents all of the modules in the
     package.
 ["//project:__subpackages__", "//other:__subpackages__"]: Only modules in packages project
     or other or in one of their sub-packages have access to this module. For example,

     //project is the module's package. e.g. using [":__subpackages__"] in
     packages/apps/Settings/Android.bp is equivalent to
     //packages/apps/Settings:__subpackages__.
 ["//visibility:legacy_public"]: The default visibility, behaves as //visibility:public
     for now. It is an error if it is used in a module.
If a module does not specify the `visibility` property then it uses the `default_visibility` property of the `package` module in the module's package. If the `default_visibility` property is not set for the module's package then it will use the `default_visibility` of its closest ancestor package for which a `default_visibility` property is specified. If no `default_visibility` property can be found then the module uses the global default of `//visibility:legacy_public`. The `visibility` property has no effect on a defaults module although it does apply to any non-defaults module that uses it. To set the visibility of a defaults module, use the `defaults_visibility` property on the defaults module; not to be confused with the `default_visibility` property on the package module. See https://android.googlesource.com/platform/build/soong/+/master/README.md#visibility for more details.

name , allowed_files , apps , arch , base , compile_multilib , device_specific , dist , enabled , host_required , init_rc , licenses , logging_parent , multilib , native_bridge_supported , notice , overrides , owner , package_name , product_specific , proprietary , ramdisk , recovery , required , soc_specific , system_ext_specific , target , target.host , target_required , vendor , vintf_fragments , visibility
 name string, The name of the module. Must be unique across all modules.
 allowed_files string, A txt file containing list of files that are allowed to be included in this APEX.
 apps list of strings, List of APKs to package inside APEX
 arch interface
 base string, Name of the base module to be overridden
 compile_multilib string, control whether this module compiles for 32-bit, 64-bit, or both. Possible values are "32" (compile for 32-bit only), "64" (compile for 64-bit only), "both" (compile for both architectures), or "first" (compile for 64-bit on a 64-bit platform, and 32-bit on a 32-bit platform
 device_specific bool, whether this module is specific to a device, not only for SoC, but also for off-chip peripherals. When set to true, it is installed into /odm (or /vendor/odm if odm partition does not exist, or /system/vendor/odm if both odm and vendor partitions do not exist). This implies `soc_specific:true`.
⊕dist
 targets list of strings, copy the output of this module to the $DIST_DIR when `dist` is specified on the command line and any of these targets are also on the command line, or otherwise built
 dest string, The name of the output artifact. This defaults to the basename of the output of the module.
 dir string, The directory within the dist directory to store the artifact. Defaults to the top level directory ("").
 suffix string, A suffix to add to the artifact file name (before any extension).
 enabled bool, emit build rules for this module Disabling a module should only be done for those modules that cannot be built in the current environment. Modules that can build in the current environment but are not usually required (e.g. superceded by a prebuilt) should not be disabled as that will prevent them from being built by the checkbuild target and so prevent early detection of changes that have broken those modules.
 host_required list of strings, names of other modules to install on host if this module is installed
 init_rc list of strings, init.rc files to be installed if this module is installed
 licenses list of strings, Names of the licenses that apply to this module.
 logging_parent string, Logging Parent value
 multilib interface
 native_bridge_supported bool, Whether this module is built for non-native architecures (also known as native bridge binary)
 notice string, relative path to a file to include in the list of notices for the device
 overrides list of strings, Names of modules to be overridden. Listed modules can only be other binaries (in Make or Soong). This does not completely prevent installation of the overridden binaries, but if both binaries would be installed by default (in PRODUCT_PACKAGES) the other binary will be removed from PRODUCT_PACKAGES.
 owner string, vendor who owns this module
 package_name string, Apex Container Package Name. Override value for attribute package:name in AndroidManifest.xml
 product_specific bool, whether this module is specific to a software configuration of a product (e.g. country, network operator, etc). When set to true, it is installed into /product (or /system/product if product partition does not exist).
 proprietary bool, whether this is a proprietary vendor module, and should be installed into /vendor
 ramdisk bool, Whether this module is installed to ramdisk
 recovery bool, Whether this module is installed to recovery partition
 required list of strings, names of other modules to install if this module is installed
 soc_specific bool, whether this module is specific to an SoC (System-On-a-Chip). When set to true, it is installed into /vendor (or /system/vendor if vendor partition does not exist).
 system_ext_specific bool, whether this module extends system. When set to true, it is installed into /system_ext (or /system/system_ext if system_ext partition does not exist).
 target interface
⊕target.host, target.android
 compile_multilib string
 target_required list of strings, names of other modules to install on target if this module is installed
 vendor bool, whether this module is specific to an SoC (System-On-a-Chip). When set to true, it is installed into /vendor (or /system/vendor if vendor partition does not exist). Use `soc_specific` instead for better meaning.
 vintf_fragments list of strings, VINTF manifest fragments to be installed if this module is installed
 visibility list of strings, Controls the visibility of this module to other modules. Allowable values are one or more of these formats: 

 ["//visibility:public"]: Anyone can use this module.
 ["//visibility:private"]: Only rules in the module's package (not its subpackages) can use
     this module.
 ["//visibility:override"]: Discards any rules inherited from defaults or a creating module.
     Can only be used at the beginning of a list of visibility rules.
 ["//some/package:__pkg__", "//other/package:__pkg__"]: Only modules in some/package and
     other/package (defined in some/package/*.bp and other/package/*.bp) have access to
     this module. Note that sub-packages do not have access to the rule; for example,
     //some/package/foo:bar or //other/package/testing:bla wouldn't have access. __pkg__
     is a special module and must be used verbatim. It represents all of the modules in the
     package.
 ["//project:__subpackages__", "//other:__subpackages__"]: Only modules in packages project
     or other or in one of their sub-packages have access to this module. For example,
     //project:rule, //project/library:lib or //other/testing/internal:munge are allowed
     to depend on this rule (but not //independent:evil)
 ["//project"]: This is shorthand for ["//project:__pkg__"]
 [":__subpackages__"]: This is shorthand for ["//project:__subpackages__"] where
     //project is the module's package. e.g. using [":__subpackages__"] in
     packages/apps/Settings/Android.bp is equivalent to
     //packages/apps/Settings:__subpackages__.
 ["//visibility:legacy_public"]: The default visibility, behaves as //visibility:public
     for now. It is an error if it is used in a module.
If a module does not specify the `visibility` property then it uses the `default_visibility` property of the `package` module in the module's package. If the `default_visibility` property is not set for the module's package then it will use the `default_visibility` of its closest ancestor package for which a `default_visibility` property is specified. If no `default_visibility` property can be found then the module uses the global default of `//visibility:legacy_public`. The `visibility` property has no effect on a defaults module although it does apply to any non-defaults module that uses it. To set the visibility of a defaults module, use the `defaults_visibility` property on the defaults module; not to be confused with the `default_visibility` property on the package module. See https://android.googlesource.com/platform/build/soong/+/master/README.md#visibility for more details.
