Finally got around to looking at this.
Cloned & was able to reproduce the error.
Changing the build-extras.gradle to:
dependencies {
debugCompile project(path: ':org.apache.cordova.xapkreader:library',
configuration: "debug")
releaseCompile project(path: ':org.apache.cordova.xapkreader:library',
configuration: "release")
}
Fixed it for me. Probably gradle's not de-duping correctly when mixing
compile("foo"), and debugCompile("foo")
