How to change Android Studio's default build flavor?
With Android Studio 3.5+ you can set default falvors:
android {
flavorDimensions "stage", "target"
productFlavors {
develop {
getIsDefault().set(true) // that does the magic
dimension "stage"
...
Change the order in which you define them in productFlavors. The IDE always loads the first flavor it finds there as the default.
