android/packagingOptions tag in package.json

[mehfuzh]

Certain third-party libraries require you to exclude duplicate META-INF files using packagingOptoins tag in build.gradle. Right now the only option is to manually modify the generated build.gradle file.

There should be a way to specify them using package.json for a plugin so that when project is being prepared it copies them inside build.gradle file.

packagingOptions {
        exclude 'META-INF/ASL2.0'
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
        exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
}

Now you can use an include.gradle file to make this additional configuration. You can read about the include.gradle file and how to implement it inside a plugin from the docs:
