Firebase distribution upload fails

Hi people, just a question, maybe you have an idea what is happening.

Recently we started getting errors while uploading apk to Firebase distribution:

...
Failed to run aapt dump badging: AndroidManifest.xml:69: error: ERROR getting 'android:icon' attribute: attribute is not a string value 

I checked our manifest files - we don't have any icon specification and I assume we rely on the plugin to add it during the build.

Aha, exploring more I found pandulapeter/beagle#89. So maybe it is not related to the plugin but an issue with some dependency.

This plugin doesn't modify android:icon attribute 🤔 The way plugin works is it generates variant-specific icon based on resource pointed by the Manifest's android:icon. I'd advise you to inspect merged manifest and generated resources and check if there is anything highlighted as incompatible with your minimum sdk level.

Does the issue go away after you disable the plugin? Are you able to reproduce it manually when you run aapt dump badging? If it is an issue with the plugin - would you be able to provide a repro project?

Looking at the plugin implementation I can't find anything that would be incompatible 👀 Generated resource looks like this where the genrated layer-list contains original resource from android:icon and generated png files - all of it should be supported on every sdk level

Thank you so much for checking and messaging!!

I found the situation similar to the ticket I posted - this time it is a biometrics library from Google.

I'm closing since irrelevant.
