Publishing Settings - New Build Options

Can anyone point to documentation or explain all the new toggles in Publishing Settings?

I just tried to update from 2019.2 to the 2019 LTS and pretty sure these new settings and overwrites of my existing manifests is why my build is broken.

 

There's a parallel update of Google Play Services Resolver to the Google's External Dependency Manager for Unity (EDMU). So their are two automated processes battling it out behind the scenes. Maybe 3 processes if you count what Package manager does to update packages. In my case, the Unity update created a custom Main Manifest and one of the custom Gradle templates that were wrong.

My second attempt I updated to EDMU BEFORE updating Unity and the conversion worked better.

When your build fails, you also get stuck in a bad state where you can't uncheck the Custom Main Manifest toggle because there is both an Android Manifest file and a Android Manifest.DISABLED file where there should only be one. I think the toggle basically renames one to the other, so having both in the project breaks the toggle.
