DexArchiveMergerException with AndroidProtocolHandler

See original GitHub issue

After creating a project and adding a plugin just for testing. When trying to run the app I´m getting the following error.

AGPBI: {"kind":"error","text":"Program type already present: com.getcapacitor.AndroidProtocolHandler","sources":[{}],"tool":"D8"}

Right now with the plugin added, my AS project structure is this one:

app
capacitor-android
capacitor-android-plugins
navigation-bar (my plugin)
gradle scripts

On the first try, I faced another error (https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/issues/863) which I solved following one of the answers related to novoda and the publishing code.

Any clue on how to solve this?

Thanks

The problem is our plugin template has implementation 'ionic-team:capacitor-android:1+' in the build.gradle, so you can run the project independently from a capacitor project, but when you use it in a Capacitor project it causes a conflict as it downloads another version. To get rid of the problem you can replace that with implementation project(':capacitor-android'), but then you won’t be able to use it independently.

We should document that

Read my previous comment, in the plugin you have to change the dependency to implementation project(‘:capacitor-android’) so it uses the local version instead of the one it gets from the 1+ dependency. This is still open just because we have to document it
