Android Gradle plugin generates App Shortcuts shortcuts.xml for build flavors with different applicationId.
When it useful?
If you look at the official documentation of static App Shortcuts, you'll see that for each intent you need to set the android:targetPackage. But, what if you have different applicationId in different flavors?
In this case, you'll need copy your shortcuts.xml in two folder dev and prod with single difference. And if you create a new flavor with different applicationId you need to copy it again. Since at this moment we do not have any built-in merge tools applicationId from build.gradle to the shortcuts.xml this gradle plugin will be useful.

Releasing versions in Gradle is very different from releasing in Maven. Maven came with maven-release-plugin which did all the dirty work. Gradle has no such tool and probably doesn't need it anyway.
