Is there an ETA for pushing this fix?

This is also preventing me from using this plugin :-(

Same here ... I am still using Koala patch 1 version of Android Studio

Execution failed for task ':maps_launcher:packageDebugResources'.

Error while evaluating property 'namespace' of task ':maps_launcher:packageDebugResources'.
Failed to calculate the value of task ':maps_launcher:packageDebugResources' property 'namespace'.
> Failed to calculate the value of property 'namespace'.
> Package Name not found in /home/devlin/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dev/maps_launcher-2.2.1/android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml, and namespace not specified. Please specify a namespace for the generated R and BuildConfig classes via android.namespace in the module's build.gradle file like so:

       android {
           namespace 'com.example.namespace'
       }

Is there an updated on releasing this? It looks like there's a PR with the required changes.

Currently going to look at alternatvies...
