label appears from the GoPro SDK dependency

Question

I have a string resource for an application label:

 <string name="app_name">My application</string>

My AndroidManifest.xml is classical:

<manifest.. >
 <application
        android:name="my.package"
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:largeHeap="true"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
        tools:replace="android:icon">
        <activity ...

I have GoPro SDK as a dependency. And on some devices (HTC U Play) my application is signed not as "My application", but as "GoPro SDK".

I have figured out that GoPro SDK valuses are realy containing resource:

<string name="app_name">GoPro SDK</string>

GoPro SDK is an .arr archive.

How to fix it without renaming of the variable app_name?

Try to add to application tag the following attribute:

<application
    tools:replace="label, icon"/>

also I found that some of activities may contain label without tools:replace="label"

<activity android:label="@string/app_name" />

Just remove label from activities or add tools:replace="label" attribute
