Question

moduleA is a dynamic feature module with dependency which is an aar lib.

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation project(':app')
    implementation(name:'lib', ext:'aar')
}

It builds successful and installs on the emulator but whenever I want to create an app-bundle, I get the following error:

Modules 'base' and 'moduleA' contain entry 'res/drawable/xyz.xml' with different content.

If I should rename xyz.xml in the app module, I get error:

../moduleA/build/intermediates/metadata_feature_manifest/fullDebug/processFullDebugManifest/metadata-feature/AndroidManifest.xml:61:13-63:50: AAPT: error: resource drawable/xyz (aka my.app.main.drawable/xyz) not found.

This is one of the issues highlighted in Plaid's modularization article .

To solve it, I had to create an empty xyz.xml in the app module, but when creating an app-bundle, I get the error:

Modules 'base' and 'moduleA' contain entry 'res/drawable/xyz.xml' with different content.

What is the problem and how can it be solved?

Answer 1

As you removed base/.../xyz.xml you won't be able to access it from your base module (app).
If you rename base/.../xyz.xml to base/.../zzz.xml you will have to change references to it as well.

If you don't access base/.../xyz.xml in your base module at all, you can remove the file. Then you'll have to make sure all your imports are pointing not to base.R.drawable.xyz but to feature.R.drawable.xyz .

If both files actually could be the same, remove feature/.../xyz.xml and make sure to only import base.R.drawable.xyz .

If both files have to be different, rename either one and make sure to get your imports correct.

Answer 2

Both modules base and moduleA seem to depend on the same AAR.

Instead, put the AAR as a dependency of module base only. moduleA should be able to find the resource through a transitive dependency of module base .
