Android Provider in Dynamic Feature module not found in Base Module - android

I am using some libraries in my dynamic feature module. These libraries are Adding some providers to the manifest.
For example in my build.gradle file in the dynamic module:
dependencies {
...
implementation 'com.github.esafirm.android-image-picker:imagepicker:1.11.1'
...
}
This library adds the following tag to the manifest:
<provider
android:name="com.esafirm.imagepicker.helper.ImagePickerFileProvider"
android:authorities="{$applicationId}.imagepicker.provider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true" >
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="#xml/image_picker_provider_paths" />
</provider>
The problem is when I build my base module the app crashes because it cannot find the provider. How can I solve this?
As it is stated here:
The manifest for your app’s base module is similar to that of any other app module. Keep in mind, when Google Play generates your app’s base APK, it merges manifests for all modules into that of the base APK.
But why only providers are affected? Are activities ignored?
This is the stacktrace I get:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to get provider com.esafirm.imagepicker.helper.ImagePickerFileProvider: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.esafirm.imagepicker.helper.ImagePickerFileProvider" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/ir.rashin.mototel-h7B8g42gBcVABkik16vqzw==/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app/ir.rashin.mototel-h7B8g42gBcVABkik16vqzw==/lib/x86, /system/lib]]

Try this solution.
Add provider with tools:node="remove" in you app build.gradle
<provider
android:name="com.esafirm.imagepicker.helper.ImagePickerFileProvider"
android:authorities="{$applicationId}.imagepicker.provider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true"
tools:node="remove" >
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="#xml/image_picker_provider_paths" />
</provider>
In Android Studio it will be marked as red but when you build bundle with
./gradlew clean bundleRelease
it should finish with success.
Now you can generate .apks file and unzip it:
java -jar bundletool-all-0.10.2.jar build-apks --bundle=app.aab --output=release.apks --ks=release.keystore --ks-pass=pass:xxxxxx --ks-key-alias=xxxxxxkey --key-pass=pass:xxxxxx
unzip release.apks
After this you can decode your .apk files (for example with apktool) to take a look at their manifests.
Now in base-master.apk you shouldn't see your provider entries, and in {dynamic-module}master.apk it should be available.
java -jar apktool_2.4.0.jar d release/splits/base-master.apk

It's just a new project with no other additions containing only a MainActivity class. Same new project will work if i rename the package to "com.demo.myapp".
Using Analyse APK, I can see that the classes.dex file doesn't contain the MainActivity. Is the name "cvs" causing the issue as it will work perfectly with any other name instead of it?

As you mentioned this is happening when you are using the latest Gradle that is currently 3.6.3, It has a new packaging tool ZipFlinger, which might be causing the issue, try below code to disable it
android.useNewApkCreator=false
Moreover I got some relevant links, please have a look.

MultiDex problem with Android Studio 3.6 when implementing it the right way

In Android Studio, when I try to launch my app, it says "My First App has stopped" in the Android emulator

I believe what is causing it is a stack trace.
I am going through the official Android app bulding tutorial here: https://developer.android.com/training/index.html
I finished the "Start Another Activity" section and have found this error while trying to test it. I was also not able to run the app in the earlier parts of the tutorial.
That led me to this link: Unfortunately MyApp has stopped. How can I solve this?
Which led me to this link:
What is a stack trace, and how can I use it to debug my application errors?
But I am still having trouble figuring it out.
Here is a snippet of the error log:

Any suggestions on how to figure this out? Thanks!
Edit:
I believe this is my Manifest file:

<!-- The meta-data tag is required if you support API level 15 and lower -->
android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
android:value=".MainActivity" />
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
You have incorrect closing tag in your manifest:
<activity android:name=".DisplayMessageActivity"
android:parentActivityName=".MainActivity" >
<!-- The meta-data tag is required if you support API level 15 and lower -->
android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
android:value=".MainActivity" />
</activity>
This is the incorrect closing tag without open tag:
<!-- The meta-data tag is required if you support API level 15 and lower -->
android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
android:value=".MainActivity" />
Try removing it.
UPDATED:
From the tutorial, you're missing the open tag of <meta-data, so you need to correct it by adding the open tag:
<meta-data android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY" android:value=".MainActivity" />
After adding the tag, your code will be like this:
<activity android:name=".DisplayMessageActivity"
android:parentActivityName=".MainActivity" >
<!-- The meta-data tag is required if you support API level 15 and lower -->
<meta-data android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
android:value=".MainActivity" />
</activity>

Install referrer receiver was accidentally left in the manifest file after I removed the referrer SDK

I have removed the appnext SDK from my project. However, I forgot to remove the appnext install referral receiver. The version passed gradle build without any error or warning even though it should have failed the build! (Since I referenced an SDK that was no longer part of the project). My question is why Android Studio/Gradle didn't at least warned me about it at build time?
Here is the relevant code snippet from my manifest file:
The AppsFlyer Install Receiver is first and will broadcast to all receivers placed below it.
Although the library provides additional services, if you use ProGuard as part of your build process,
it has a light footprint. We only use the ads packages from Google Services.
If you want to optimize the size of your project you can exclude any other packages.
For more details see: https://support.appsflyer.com/hc/en-us/articles/207032126-AppsFlyer-SDK-Integration-Android

The exception stack trace above is clear to me and very logical. After all I have removed the app next library from my project and that was a left over I forgot. Why it happened is not my question, my question is why the Android Studio would let me compile & build my project without raising a single warning in the gradle console? I have not changed any default lint properties. Moreover, When I open the manifest file now Android Studio, would mark the line "android:name="com.appnext.appnextsdk.ReferralReceiver" as an error. But when I built the project is will not even warn me about that.

Android: Rare and Non-Reproducible ClassNotFoundException

I have a published app that gets reports about a ClassNotFoundExceptionfrom users that I went beyond my wits end trying to fix. I have not been able to reproduce this crash and similar instances of this error here on SO have either been cases of incorrect path to a dependency or a different package in the MainActivity than the manifest.
The issues with the wrong path to the dependencies are an Eclipse thing, while all the other errors could be easily fixed with Android Studio's "sync" and "clean project" (which I did to no avail).
I've triple checked all the package names and did not find any discrepancies.
Here is my manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

It would seem that the culprit is java.io.IOException: Failed to remove obsolete file from /data/dalvik-cache/arm/data#app#com.johan.fsc-1#base.apk#classes.dex when searching for dex file /data/app/com.johan.fsc-1/base.apk: Permission denied, but I have not found why it's being invoked for some users and not the majority, and more importantly--how to fix it.
Possible Cause 1: There is a typo in the manifest in the line android:largeHeap="true">>. xml line ends with >>. This may be preventing the Intent-Filter from executing.
Possible Cause 2: My guess is that the phone is searching for a class <PackageName>.<PackageName>.<ClassName> instead of <PackageName>.<ClassName> . So definitely <PackageName>.<PackageName>.<ClassName> is not found and ClassNotFoundException would be the result. In android studio, in the manifest, by default activity name is written like this: android:name=".<ClassName>" instead of android:name="<PackageName>.<ClassName>" . You can give this a try.
Most phones may be checking whether packagename is added before the class name in the manifest. If it is added then they don't add it while searching of the class. While few phones must be adding the package name by default while searching for the class. Hence, they cannot find your class.
Certainly, you're naming your activity wrong. An activity CAN NOT consist the package's name in its name attribute.
Since you're already defining the package name here
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.johan.fsc">
You shouldn't mention that name here
<activity android:name="com.johan.fsc.MainActivity"
The only situation you should use package name along with a class's name is when the java class resides in a different package, as done in import statements.
Even if your activity is not present in the src folder and is instead present in a nested folder, android studio should handle the linking of manifest and the activity itself. Yet again, package name shouldn't be used there.

Class not found exception after adding library project

I have created a library project as .jar file and try to use it in another project. But I am getting Class not found exception while using it.I added all the activities from the library in my manifest file and its all permission. But still getting same error.
Here is my manifest file
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
android:value="#string/google_maps_key" />
<activity android:name=".Activities.MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name="in.moovo.moovobroker.Activity.Mainactivity"/>
</application>

This error is not for Activity. This is for in/moovo/moovobroker/R$layout which you used into in.moovo.moovobroker.Activity.Mainactivity.
The way you are using is not correct way. When you decide to use jar file, the classes which are into jar, should not have dependency on any external resources.
Correct way is to use aar file. Read how to Create aar file in Android Studio
jar files contain only code! No activities can be found in your jar file. If you wish to use the activity resource files, you should use aar file instead.
Specifically: the 'aar' bundle is the binary distribution of an Android Library Project.
The file extension is .aar, and the maven artifact type should be aar as well, but the file itself a simple zip file with the following entries:
/AndroidManifest.xml (mandatory)
/classes.jar (mandatory)
/res/ (mandatory)
/R.txt (mandatory)
/assets/ (optional)
/libs/*.jar (optional)
/jni/<abi>/*.so (optional)
/proguard.txt (optional)
/lint.jar (optional)
These entries are directly at the root of the zip file.
