Transitive dependency changes app's name

[laramartin]

Describe the problem

We are using your library and updated to version 2.9.0.

After we created a release build, we noticed that our app name was changed to "Android Browser Helper".

We found out that Auth0 is pulling the "Android browser helper" library as a transitive dependency. This dependency was the culprit overriding the standard app name. We have our strings in a different module than the app module (it should be ok to do this!), therefore the browser helper's name was taking precedence, as they declare it in their app module.

I raised an issue here as well GoogleChrome/android-browser-helper#419

Environment

• Version of this library used: v2.9.0
• Other modules/plugins/libraries that might be involved: android-browser-helper

Hi @laramartin thanks for raising this. Looks like android-browser-helper will be fixing this issue. We can pull it in once it is fixed there. I am following the issue there. Until then I guess you can use tools:override to ensure the correct app_name is used. We will close the issue here for now. Please comment here if you have more to add and we can reopen this issue.

thank you for following up and for the suggestion. I should have mentioned that we ended up moving our app_name string to the app module :)

No need to reopen, we wanted to only raise awareness here in case someone else searches for this.

Cheers!
