Error after updating Android Gradle to 4.2.0

Configuration

• Version: 0.8.1
• Integration: native Kotlin

Issue Description

After updating Android Studio to 4.2.0 and Android Gradle to 4.2.0 I started getting the error, just when running the unit tests

Manifest merger failed : Attribute data@scheme at manifestMerger8985243458617216070.xml requires a placeholder substitution but no value for <appAuthRedirectScheme> is provided.

Just some context, I have all the AppAuth related stuff in a separate model, called authorization. In that module it’s defined the manifestPlaceholders

android {
       default {
              manifestPlaceholders = [
                     'appAuthRedirectScheme': 'xxx',
              ]
       }
}

and also in the main app module I have the manifestPlaceholders.

when I run ./gradlew :authorization:testDebugUnitTest I get that error Manifest merger failed : Attribute data@scheme at manifestMerger8985243458617216070.xml requires a placeholder substitution but no value for <appAuthRedirectScheme> is provided.

If I downgrade the Gradle to 4.1.3 everything runs fine.

Also, running the app in a device, no problems, just when running the tests.

Any ideia what’s happening ? Thanks

I’ve managed to make it work with this

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    package="xxx">

    <application>
        <activity android:name="net.openid.appauth.RedirectUriReceiverActivity" tools:node="replace"/>
    </application>

</manifest>

@tallnato That’s what mine looks like as well. So far it seems to work fine
