Manifest merger failed using com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.2.2 or higher

Not sure if this is a bug or not so posting here, but when I used anything greater than com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.2.2 I get the following with @capacitor-firebase/analytics@^6.1.0:

Manifest merger failed : Attribute property#android.adservices.AD_SERVICES_CONFIG@resource value=(@xml/gma_ad_services_config) from [com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-lite:23.0.0] AndroidManifest.xml:92:13-59
	is also present at [com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement-api:21.5.1] AndroidManifest.xml:32:13-58 value=(@xml/ga_ad_services_config).
	Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:resource"' to <property> element at AndroidManifest.xml to override.

It seems like this issue is not directly related to this plugin. Please take a look at this SO answer.

I can confirm that adding the following to AndroidManifest.xml resolves the issue:

<property
  android:name="android.adservices.AD_SERVICES_CONFIG"
  android:resource="@xml/gma_ad_services_config"
  tools:replace="android:resource" />
