CLI does not build the correct productFlavor when --list-devices flag is used

[ste7en]

Description

Version 0.71.7 uses @react-native-community/cli 10.2.2 and @react-native-community/cli-platform-android 10.2.0.
However, when running run-android with either --list-devices or --deviceId <string> flags, the arguments passed to Gradle are build -x lint (ref) notwithstanding specifying the app flavor thruogh the --mode or the deprecated --variant flags.

This has been solved by this PR and released with v11 of react native CLI, however at the moment it is not possible to use these features with version 0.71.7.

Hi @ste7en
Thanks for reporting this issue.

It seems like this issue is actually unrelated to React Native core but related to the CLI. Please open this issue against this other repository:

https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/issues

I'll be closing this but feel free to reopen if the other repo points back to us as a issue in the core of React Native.

Hey @cortinico thanks!

I don't think it's worth pointing the issue to the CLI repo as it has been fixed with v11.0.0 and react-native 0.72-stable already uses it.
However could be worth pointing its bump in #36697 in case of a future 0.71.8 release reactwg/react-native-releases#65
