Compile-time Error: DOCSBOTAI_ID not found

[07jasjeet]

Problem

When compiling the project, a BuildConfigField called DOCSBOTAI_ID is absent which is causing builds to fail.

Proposed Solution

Add wp.docsbotai.id=wordpress to gradle.properties-example so that new contributors have this field in their gradle.properties file when doing the initial setup.
OR
Add DOCSBOTAI_ID manually to build.gradle under productFlavors. This solution will remedy the issue for older contributors (those who have already gone through the setup process) and also be future proof. One downside is that the gradle.properties will lose its importance if these situations pop up in future as its main function is to automate this exact case.

This issue has been addressed. The defaults.properties file contains wp.docsbotai.id=wordpress, which serves as a fallback for contributors who don't have a secrets.properties file. The build system in settings.gradle automatically loads defaults.properties when secrets aren't present, and WordPress/build.gradle dynamically generates the DOCSBOTAI_ID BuildConfig field from that property via addBuildConfigFieldsFromPrefixedProperties().

As a result, both new and existing contributors will get a valid DOCSBOTAI_ID at compile time without any manual setup.
