So for those interested, a simple workaround for this is as follows:
1. Replace all of the hardcoded package names for custom permissions,
etc (other than the root package attribute) with a tag of your own (I used "
_PACKAGENAME_"). So for example <category
android:name="my.package.name.here"/> becomes <category
android:name="_PACKAGENAME"/>.
2. In your build.gradle, add the following under the android scope:
applicationVariants.all { variant ->
variant.processManifest << {
def outFile = variant.processManifest.manifestOutputFile
def newFileContents =
outFile.getText('UTF-8').replace("_PACKAGENAME_", variant.packageName)
outFile.write(newFileContents, 'UTF-8')
}
}
