Additional Context

[andrewl94]

After further messing with the strings.xml, AndroidManifest.xml and plugin's providers, It seems that AndroidManifest.xml are not even receiving the strings.xml data.

What I did is:
1 - Changed the provider

<provider
                android:name="com.marianhello.bgloc.data.provider.LocationContentProvider"
                android:authorities="@string/mauron85_bgloc_content_authority_teste"
                android:exported="false"
                android:syncable="true"/>

2 - Changed in strings, manifest, etc, where the strings is used to mauron85_bgloc_content_authority_teste

The same error is thrown, but now with mauron85_bgloc_content_authority_teste
I tried then to set another non-related to this plugin string to be used by the provider, but only to the same error being thrown too on AndroidManifest.xml validation on plugins:verifyReleaseResources

Anyone have some example of this or any other cordova plugin configuration on strings.xml

Is there any other place where I could set the "@string/mauron85_bgloc_content_authority"? Where it gets loaded to AndroidManifest.xml?
