Gradle 7: Linter does not recognize dependency from plugin

[robingenz]

Hi all,
I am currently updating my Capacitor Firebase monorepo to Capacitor 4 and have encountered a problem with Gradle 7.
I assume this problem has nothing to do with Capacitor
But maybe someone from the Capacitor team has a tip for me, so I can release the Capacitor 4 update for my Firebase plugins as soon as possible.

The issue is the following: capawesome-team/capacitor-firebase#117
I have also already created an issue in gradle repo with more information and a reproducible example: gradle/gradle#21462
My Capacitor Firebase Authentication plugin uses the Facebook Android Login SDK.
This must be referenced in the AndroidManifest.xml (see this example).
Unfortunately, at this point I get a lint error from Gradle 7 that the dependency could not be found.

> Task :app:lintDebug FAILED
Lint found 2 errors, 13 warnings. First failure:

C:\Users\robin\Documents\GitHub\capacitor-firebase-authentication-demo\android\app\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml:22: Error: Class referenced in the manifest, com.facebook.FacebookActivity, was not found in the project or the libraries [MissingClass]
            android:name="com.facebook.FacebookActivity"
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The full lint text report is located at:
  C:\Users\robin\Documents\GitHub\capacitor-firebase-authentication-demo\android\app\build\intermediates\lint_intermediate_text_report\debug\lint-results-debug.txt

Before the Capacitor 4 migration (with Gradle 4) everything worked.

Do you have any idea or tip for me to solve the problem?
