## local.properties helpers
There are multiple helper flags available via `local.properties` that will help speed up local development workflow
when working across multiple layers of the dependency stack - specifically, with android-components, geckoview or application-services.
### android-components auto-publication workflow
Specify a relative path to your local `android-components` checkout via `autoPublish.android-components.dir`.
If enabled, during a Fenix build android-components will be compiled and locally published if it has been modified,
and published versions of android-components modules will be automatically used instead of whatever is declared in Dependencies.kt.
### application-services composite builds
Specify a relative path to your local `application-services` checkout via `substitutions.application-services.dir`.
If enabled, a multi-project gradle build will be configured, and any application-services dependency will be substituted
for the local version. Any changes to `application-services` will be automatically included in Fenix builds.
### GeckoView
Specify a relative path to your local `mozilla-central` checkout via `dependencySubstitutions.geckoviewTopsrcdir`,
and optional a path to m-c object directory via `dependencySubstitutions.geckoviewTopobjdir`.
If these are configured, local builds of GeckoView will be used instead of what's configured in Dependencies.kt.
