Project does not building when android:allowBackup="false" is set in Manifest
See original GitHub issueThe application can no longer be built when the application has android:allowBackup="false" because the library has android:allowBackup="true" :
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processFreeDebugManifest'.
> Manifest merger failed : Attribute application@allowBackup value=(false) from AndroidManifest.xml:30:9-36
is also present at [com.prof.rssparser:rssparser:1.0] AndroidManifest.xml:12:9-35 value=(true).
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:allowBackup"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:28:5-166:19 to override.
Suggestion: remove the android:allowBackup="true" from the lib manifest.
Additional, maybe also remove android:label="@string/app_name" and android:supportsRtl="true"
