Package broken on Android with Flutter version 3.16.0

[JoseGeorges8]

Steps to reproduce

1. run flutter upgrade and make sure you are on 3.16.0
2. Create new flutter project
3. Add package as a dependency
4. Run the app

Breaks with the following exception:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugNativeLibs'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.MergeNativeLibsTask$MergeNativeLibsTaskWorkAction
   > 2 files found with path 'lib/arm64-v8a/libc++_shared.so' from inputs:
      - /Users/username/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/c9edf73c2f7e2730d5aebc17d49b6083/transformed/jetified-arm64_v8a_debug-1.0.0-74d16627b940bb15e50891f82cad6c3e3465bd6d/arm64-v8a/libc++_shared.so
      - /Users/username/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/815e85428dc3d5b8fae31f7b2e7a8e16/transformed/jetified-pdfium-android-1.9.2/jni/arm64-v8a/libc++_shared.so
     If you are using jniLibs and CMake IMPORTED targets, see
     https://developer.android.com/r/tools/jniLibs-vs-imported-targets

UPDATE
Seems like this only happens when trying to build in debug mode.

Same issue here, works in profile mode

Add following into your build.gradle as a hotfix (FYI build on linux or windows goes well)
packagingOptions { pickFirst 'lib/x86/libc++_shared.so' pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libc++_shared.so' pickFirst 'lib/armeabi-v7a/libc++_shared.so' pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libc++_shared.so'}

Seems like this is related to flutter/flutter#138535

I also have the same problem in Flutter version 3.16.9. For now I'm using packagingOptions to work around the problem, but it doesn't seem to be the right way.
