@mig35 - I was able to confirm this is a bug today in MSDK 11.1.0. Thanks for your detailed report and suggestions. We ought to be able to include this fix in 12.0.0, the next release. Is your app able to work-around this for now by keeping the application class in the default package?

hey @JohnsonEricAtSalesforce thank you for your response. we were able to work around this. anyway do you have any timeline for the 12.0.0 release?

[JohnsonEricAtSalesforce]

That's great to hear. 12.0.0 doesn't have an exact release date on the calendar, but it is currently in progress and should be available in approximately a month. The fix is in https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-Android/pull/2513
