Bug IN-40099 - XR Management Package >=4.3.1 deletes UnityLibrary AndroidManifest.xml

FYI, versions of the XR Management Package >= 4.3.1 have introduced some very "interesting" code that deletes the AndroidManifest in OnPostprocessBuild.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. public void OnPostprocessBuild(BuildReport report)
3. {
4.     // Always remember to cleanup preloaded assets after build to make sure we don't
5.     // dirty later builds with assets that may not be needed or are out of date.
6.     CleanOldSettings();
7.  
8.     // This is done to clean up XR-provider-specific manifest entries from Android builds when
9.     // the incremental build system fails to rebuild the manifest, as there is currently
10.     // (2023-09-27) no way to mark the manifest as "dirty."
11.     CleanupAndroidManifest();
12. }
13.  

This, of course, breaks all exported Android builds. It is an extremely misguided piece of code at many different levels. Please remove. We've worked around it by embedded the package and fixing it ourselves, but the list of packages where that has become necessary is growing.

 

Great to hear that. Please ensure that the test suite for any version of this includes testing exported builds.
