CLI 8.2.x discards AAR files with the same name #5665

Issue Description

I have a plugin workspace with multiple packages and a core package, all under the same scope. My core package has a platforms folder, with an AndroidManifest.xml and an include.gradle file.

Starting from CLI 8.2.x (with 8.1.x works fine) I've noticed that some permissions were missing after building the app, permissions declared in the AndroidManifest.xml of my plugin. It turns out that on build time, an aar is being generated for my core package called core.aar. So, the file name seems to collide with another package (probably the one from @nativescript/core) hence being discarded.

I see the need of discarding duplicated aar files, but perhaps the process should be a bit more "smart" and consider where those files are placed. That, or generated aar files for scoped plugins should contain the scope on its name. These are some suggestions, in case they help.

Reproduction

  1. Find or create a plugin workspace with a package named core.
  2. Add an AndroidManifest.xml file to the platforms/android folder of the plugin.
  3. Add some permission to the manifest (any other thing would work too, but a permission is the easiest thing to add).
  4. Pack the plugin and install inside an existing app.
  5. Build the app.
  6. Check if the permission is listed under the information page of the app.
