I Extender's logs I found following error:

Some information related to that error: https://git.gugelfrei.de/gugelfrei/android_build/commit/0084dc8e2f9840ea0f80015072f4da3d64e83e5d

After some investigation found following things:

• Earlier it allowed to use codenames in <uses-sdk> tag like "UpsideDownCake"
• If use codename instead of integer version - result manifest also contains codename as value inside <uses-sdk>
• Bundle with codename inside <uses-sdk> failed to create.
• Manifest merge library contains following comments regarding <uses-sdk> attributes

  /**
   * Returns the maxSdk version specified in the uses_sdk element if present in the
   * AndroidManifest.xml file, or null if not explicitly specified.
   *
   * <p>Note that specifying this value in the AndroidManifest.xml file is now ignored, generates
   * a warning and will be an error in 8.0).
   */
  @Nullable
  private String getExplicitMaxSdkVersion(@NonNull MergingReport.Builder mergingReport) {
      return getExplicitVersionAttribute("android:maxSdkVersion", mergingReport);
  }

So closing for now as no action needed. Pay attention in future updates if any changes will be made in terms of how sdk version handled.
