Arcore cannot be included in dynamic feature module with shrinkResources enabled

[sangrao]

When arcore dependency is included in featuremodule with base app that uses shrinkResource build feature, build fails with the following error message when attempting to make the App bundle/apk.

Resource table of module contains references to non-existing files: [res/raw/keep_arcore.xml]

Here's a workaround for you:

Add module/src/res/raw/keep.xml with the following contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    tools:keep="
       @raw/keep_arcore,
       @raw/keep"
    />

I can't see the resources in the output artifacts so this should be minified.

Thanks, the suggestion in https://github.com/google-ar/arcore-android-sdk/issues/1657#issuecomment-2152894739 worked.
