This can be fixed by copying the files from original/META-INF to the APK dir’s META-INF folder. The following files should be excluded though: *.MF, *.SF, *.RSA.

There is also a command line option c that copies the original manifest and META-INF folder. Though it might not work if you made changes to the manifest.

It was not enough clear for me and I spent several minutes to find how to do it the right way, so if it can help others like me before the next release fixing this issue: it is necessary to copy the folder original/META-INF/services/ into build/apk/META-INF/ (not into META-INF/ at the root).
