Conflict manifest config during build

[mike-van]

So after successful attempt at trying out the app sample with latest sdk. i tried to integrate the library into my app and now im getting this manifest merge error

> Task :app:processDebugManifest FAILED
/Users/mike/Desktop/ConsumerApp/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:48:9-35 Error:
        Attribute application@allowBackup value=(true) from AndroidManifest.xml:48:9-35
        is also present at [com.cometchat:pro-android-calls-sdk:0.0.1-beta2] AndroidManifest.xml:29:9-36 value=(false).
        Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:allowBackup"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:45:5-120:19 to override.

See http://g.co/androidstudio/manifest-merger for more information about the manifest merger.

so if i add tools:replace="android:allowBackup" to my application, i can build the app successfully, but it appear to throw error for my interal SVG library. can you help me find a solution to this? i followed the setup instruction for app build.gradle ald. and im currently on v2.1.0-beta3 of the sdk. here is my build.gradle.

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
