Due to this build error, I need to exclude all "support" libraries. I cannot patch the package since lots of dependencies used internally by these modules are fetched from maven. I do not want to deconstruct those since that could be some sort of violation.
configurations.all {
exclude group: "com.android.support"
exclude group: "android.support"
}
On excluding the "support" libraries, the initialization seems to work fine but when the portal's "Home" is accessed for the first time, the app crashes because it cannot find an ArrayMap method in one of the "support" libraries that I excluded. The same thing happens when accessing a standalone module like "Tickets" etc.
Reopening the app after the crash allows me to successfully access the Home page.
