This project is intended just to show a possible bug when building an application with dynamic features.
Having a project with:
- An application module
- A dynamic feature module
- A library module
The dynamic feature has a dependency with the library module, and the library module has a dependency that defines a provider in its manifest (an image picker for instance).
If wy try to run the application through bundle generation:
./gradlew extractApksForDebug
We get the error:
Execution failed for task ':app:makeApkFromBundleForDebug'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.BundleToApkTask$BundleToolRunnable
> Multiple meta-data entries with the same name are found inside provider:com.github.dhaval2404.imagepicker.ImagePickerFileProvider: name: "meta-data"

As a workaround, you can set dist:removable to true on the dynamic features Manifest to avoid fusing the dynamic feature APK into the base module:
<dist:delivery>
<dist:install-time>
<dist:removable dist:value="true" />
</dist:install-time>
</dist:delivery>
Maybe this error is related to duplicate resources:
