Research direction

Start by examining the two flatDir occurrences identified in the linked Capacitor repository code search, along with their surrounding Android build configuration. Verify the appropriate fileTree replacement and check that a new Capacitor project builds without the flatDir warning.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Current Behavior

There's a warning about flatDir which I think can be easily solved.

Expected Behavior

Additional Information

You can find the two offending ones here:
https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aionic-team%2Fcapacitor+flatdir&type=code)

They should be replaced with fileTree as far as I understand.
