Need to be able to pass through tools:* attrs to facilitate manifest merging.

I can manually fix this by adding, tools:node="replace" on the application node along with the xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" at the root of the manifest. But of course it's all blown away as soon as the manifest gets regenerated.

Error:(16, 45) Execution failed for task ':pro:processStageDebugManifest'.
> Manifest merger failed : Attribute application@icon value=(@drawable/logo) from AndroidManifest.xml:16:45
    is also present at com.github.dmytrodanylyk.circular-progress-button:library:1.0.4:4:18 value=(@drawable/ic_launcher)
    Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:icon"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:16:5 to override

Right now the namespaces are hardcoded into the org.androidtransfuse.model.manifest.package-info class. I wonder if we could make this more dynamic... like it would pick up a base set and add to it any others that were already defined in the existing manifest.

I thought the manifest merging was designed to honor additional parameters that you introduce into the manifest. I'll have to dig into this to figure out why this parameter is not preserved.

As we discussed, for the time being, you can turn off manifest overwriting by the following gradle configuration:

apt {
    arguments {
        androidManifestFile variant.processResources.manifestFile
        transfuseManifestProcessing 'off'
    }
}

another option for transfuseManifestProcessing is 'log'
