Josh Kasten updated CB-10014:
-----------------------------
    Description: 
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 apps 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 will be the same.

This is silent issue to the developer as it only becomes an issue when the end 
user installs 2 apps built this way. This issue should be addressed quickly to 
prevent issues when developers release their APK or provide a work for plugin 
developers to add something to their plugin.xml to default in a applicationId.

Thanks.
