Description

I keep getting the error below when running detox build -c android

> Task :app:packageDebugAndroidTest FAILEDFAILURE: Build failed with an exception.* What went wrong:Execution failed for task ':app:packageDebugAndroidTest'.> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.Workers$ActionFacade> Entry name 'META-INF/MANIFEST.MF' collided

Reproduce

• Go through the steps here to set up detox for android (without the test butler step)
• Set up the 2 following files as described
• Run detox build -c android (with or without having built the aosp emulator first).detoxrc.json

{  ..."android": {"binaryPath": "android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk","build": "cd android && ./gradlew app:assembleDebug app:assembleAndroidTest -DtestBuildType=debug && cd ..","type": "android.emulator","device": {"avdName": "Pixel_API_28_AOSP"      }    }  ...

android/app.build.gradle

The first 3 options are failed attempts at fixing the issue. The last option was already present in the project before trying to install Detox.

android {    ...    packagingOptions {        // exclude 'META-INF/**'        // pickFirst 'META-INF/**'        // merge 'META-INF/**'        pickFirst "**"    }    ...}

Environment

• Detox: ^17.14.3
• React Native: 0.63.2
• Node: v12.19.0
• Device: Android AOSP Pixel Emulator API 28
• OS: MacOS Catalina v10.15.7
• Test-runner: jest

Other potentially useful info

• Detox builds and runs tests fine for iOS, but not android
• Running the build command with --stacktrace doesn't give any further info
• This is my first time trying to set up detox at all on this project
• The solution listed in the detox docs hasn't fixed it
• Lots of stuff I've found about related errors on threads (though none mention detox) has to do with the gradle version. A lot of people suggest downgrading.
• I can build the actual app on a normal Pixel emulator and the AOSP one using the build command through android studio. This issue only occurs when trying to use the build command through detox-cli
