How to have a flavour without applicationIdSuffix?

Question

I have a released application that I want to decline on several others with the flavour system.

I managed to setup the environment to match that system with the different folders. But when I want to give my first app no applicationIdSuffix, I have a build error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processAppDebugGoogleServices'. No matching client found for package name 'com.package.name'

Is it even possible to have a flavour without an applicationIdSuffix ?

Here is my flavour section:

productFlavors {
        first {
            versionCode 6
            versionName "1.0.5"
        }
        second {
            applicationIdSuffix ".second"
            versionCode 4
            versionName "0.0.5"
        }
    }

Thanks a lot for any help you could provide.

Sure it is possible.

Judging from a task that has failed (processAppDebugGoogleServices), I assume you have problems with google-services.json, which was generated for another package name. Generate a new one with an updated package name.
