Renovate removed the v prefix from the version

[Deishelon]

How are you running Renovate?

Self-hosted Renovate

If you're self-hosting Renovate, tell us which platform (GitHub, GitLab, etc) and which version of Renovate.

BitBucket Server | Renovate Version: 40.40-full

Please tell us more about your question or problem

In Gradle(Maven), we have the following dependency:

// https://github.com/PhilJay/MPAndroidChart
implementation 'com.github.PhilJay:MPAndroidChart:v3.1.0'

However, renovate bot tried to update this dependency and it removed the v prefix from the version, like so:

- implementation 'com.github.PhilJay:MPAndroidChart:v3.1.0'
+ implementation 'com.github.PhilJay:MPAndroidChart:3.1.0'

This is our renovate.json config:

{
  "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
  "extends": ["schedule:daily", "config:recommended", "group:all"],
  "timezone": "Pacific/Auckland",
  "baseBranches": ["master"],
  "cloneSubmodules": true,
  "reviewersFromCodeOwners": true,
  "pre-commit": {
    "enabled": true
  },
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "packagePatterns": ["^com.google.guava:"],
      "versionCompatibility": "^(?<version>.*)-android$",
      "versioning": "semver"
    }
  ]
}

Any workarounds? Or should this be fixed upstream?
