"app-debug.apk' already contains entry 'AndroidManifest.xml', cannot overwrite"

I’m getting this error when updating from 5.0.0 to 5.1.0:

Execution failed for task ':app:packageDebug'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.tasks.PackageAndroidArtifact$IncrementalSplitterRunnable
   > Zip file '[..]\app-debug.apk' already contains entry 'AndroidManifest.xml', cannot overwrite

I get this both on my local machine and CI, even after clearing all the gradle caches. I looked through the changes from 5.0.0-5.1.0 (https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/compare/v5.0.0...v5.1.0) but I don’t see what could have caused this. Running with --stacktrace or --scan doesn’t provide more details.

My project is using Gradle 7.3.1. Compile SDK & target SDK = 31. I do have sourceCompatibility and targetCompatibility set to VERSION_1_8, but changing it to VERSION_11 like in the library doesn’t fix it.

That will still pull in all of the other extra junk like appengine and servlet, but agree that excluding all of those would be a better workaround.

As soon as #370 is merged, it will create a SNAPSHOT in Maven, you can use that until we cut a release.

Again, thanks for flagging this and apologies that our CI didn’t catch this. Our integration tests will catch this in the future.
