Description

Getting build error for Android on my CICD pipeline on this lib which is causing my builds to fail.

Error:
package="com.agontuk.RNFusedLocation" found in source AndroidManifest.xml: /node_modules/react-native-geolocation-service/android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml. [20:25:21]: ▸ **Setting the namespace via a source AndroidManifest.xml's package attribute is deprecated.** [20:25:21]: ▸ Please instead set the namespace (or testNamespace) in the module's build.gradle file, as described here:https://developer.android.com/studio/build/configure-app-module#set-namespace`

Seems like using package in AndroidManifest is now deprecated. We should switch to namespace.

I'm having this issue while running

npx react-native run-android

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':react-native-geolocation-service'.
> Could not create an instance of type com.android.build.api.variant.impl.LibraryVariantBuilderImpl.
   > Namespace not specified. Please specify a namespace in the module's build.gradle file like so:

     android {
         namespace 'com.example.namespace'
     }

     If the package attribute is specified in the source AndroidManifest.xml, it can be migrated automatically to the namespace value in the build.gradle file using the AGP Upgrade Assistant; please refer to https://developer.android.com/studio/build/agp-upgrade-assistant for more information.
