-----------------------------------
+1 on this one. took me days to understand what's going, as [~Bnaya] mentioned
- only luck will get you to this thread, which contains the only workaround I
found on the web.
This issue is already shows signs of an epidemic. I saw 2 apps already that
failed to install with INSTALL_FAILED_CONFLICTING_PROVIDER on different phones.
This means that there are already apps that have been deployed with the default
`android:authorities` and will block future apps from installing.
> Gradle variable applicationId is not set, creates issue with Google Play
> services 8.3.0

> Key: CB-10014
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-10014
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Android
> Affects Versions: 5.4.1
> Reporter: Josh Kasten
> Labels: android, gradle
>
> applicationId is not set in build.gradle which creates an issue with
> com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement:8.3.0. This aar file has the
> following line in AndroidManifest.xml
> {code:xml}
> <provider
> android:authorities="${applicationId}.google_measurement_service"
>
> android:name="com.google.android.gms.measurement.AppMeasurementContentProvider"
> android:exported="false"/>
> {code}
> applicationId becomes `com.google.android.gms.measurement` when the manifest
> entry is merged since applicationId is not set in the main project .gradle
> file. This means that if another app also includes the Google Play services
> library 8.3.0 it will fail to install on the device with an
> INSTALL_FAILED_CONFLICTING_PROVIDER error because the name isn't unique.
> This is silent problem to developers as it only becomes an issue when the end
> user installs 2 apps built this way. This should be addressed quickly to
> prevent this error when developers release their APK or provide a work around
> for plugin developers to add something to their plugin.xml to default in the
> applicationId gradle variable.
> Thanks.
