Kotlin Modules file name is too generic creating incompatibility with other libraries

[matthewslade]

When using this library in combination with androidx.compose.runtime:runtime the following issue occurs:

Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDevWithDetoxReleaseJavaResource'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.MergeJavaResWorkAction
   > 2 files found with path 'META-INF/runtime_release.kotlin_module' from inputs:

     Adding a packagingOptions block may help, please refer to

This SO post seems to suggest the following to fix this:

ext {
    GROUP_ID = 'custom.group.id'
    ARTIFACT_ID = 'artifactid'
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.0"

    compileOptions {
        kotlinOptions.freeCompilerArgs += ['-module-name', "$GROUP_ID.$ARTIFACT_ID"]
    }

    defaultConfig {
        ...
    }
    buildTypes {
        ...
    }
}

Hi @matthewslade. Sorry for the delayed reply here. Which version of the Android Gradle Plugin are you using? https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-49066 seems to imply that this conflict shouldn't happen with newer AGP versions.
