AAPT: error: attribute auto_submit (aka my.package.name:auto_submit) not found.

Problem/Motivation

Project build always fail after upgrading my android gradle plugin version to 4.1.0 with the following error message, the project requires that I use this due to some technical needs

AAPT: error: attribute auto_submit (aka my.package.name:auto_submit) not found.

Proposed resolution

All I know is that the issues have to do with all the PinPadView's declared-styleables

Repeatable

Always

Steps to repeat: (Describe how the issue can be repeated by someone who is to work on it)

1. Use android studio 4.1+ canary
2. Upgrade to gradle plugin 4.1+
3. Attempt to build the project

Expected Results:

Build fails with message

The error message comes for all the attributes used by the paystack library in this xml code, Apparently all the PinPadView attributes

Same issue, please need a fix.

You probably have tried clearing the gradle cache and rebuilding but if you haven't please do. The error seems to be coming from the cached gradle files before gradle upgrade.
