configurations

Specifies the set of build configurations, such as "Debug" and "Release", for a workspace or project.

configurations { "names" }

A configuration encapsulates a collection of build settings, allowing the developer to easily switch between them. "Debug" and "Release" are the most common configuration names.

For more information, see Configurations and Platforms.
