Can not install two flavors of CHT Android app of same version.

Describe the bug
Can not install two different apps of CHT Android or it's flavors. For example, if I am a supervisor for two of the medic's deployments and both have Android app of same version, I can't install one of the app if another is already deployed. This happens with CHT Android app as well.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Download and install CHT App for CHIS
  2. Download and try installing Unbranded app or any Muso Mali or any other apk of same version.
  3. You will see an error saying app wasn't installed.
  4. If you'd tried Step 2 using adb, you'd get error like below:
adb: failed to install /Users/yuvraj/Downloads/cht-android-v1.0.0-musomali-arm64-v8a-release.apk: Failure 
[INSTALL_FAILED_CONFLICTING_PROVIDER: Scanning Failed.: Can't install because provider name 
org.medicmobile.webapp.mobile.fileprovider (in package org.medicmobile.webapp.mobile.musomali) 
is already used by org.medicmobile.webapp.mobile.chis_ne]

Expected behavior
Second app should be installed without error.

Logs
Adb Log:

adb: failed to install /Users/yuvraj/Downloads/cht-android-v1.0.0-musomali-arm64-v8a-release.apk: Failure 
[INSTALL_FAILED_CONFLICTING_PROVIDER: Scanning Failed.: Can't install because provider name 
org.medicmobile.webapp.mobile.fileprovider (in package org.medicmobile.webapp.mobile.musomali) 
is already used by org.medicmobile.webapp.mobile.chis_ne]

Environment

  • Android Version: (eg: 11)
  • App Version: (eg: 1.0)

Additional context
Different version of CHT Android app (for example: CHIS v1.0 and Muso mali v0.9) can be installed side by side.

Some notes:

  • We set the file provider in the manifest
  • Maybe we can change the android:authorities to be unique per flavor, sample: android:authorities="${applicationId}.fileprovider" Not sure how to access the flavor name from here, needs research.

This is high priority to allow for side installs of testing apps, and also some projects rely on multiple flavors for multiple logins for users with many docs.

It looks like it's possible to inject the app id into the manifest: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/manage-manifests#inject_build_variables_into_the_manifest

Let's give this a try?

I'll also take a time to test this as well.

Verified by installing multiple flavors and logging in as users.
