Details:
There is a bug with the gradle android plugin that causes libraries that depend on the prefab we publish to not be able to find the native libraries.
There are two problems to why this bug occurs:
prefabConfigurePackagetask might run before we build our native libaries. This will cause AGP to treat our library as a "header only" library, in that case it generates a CMake file, which doesn't include the native library and thus linking fails.configureCMake,there is no way to avoid that.Even when the publication in our library changes (because native libs were build) the dependent library wouldn't pick up on that change, as the only place where the AGP would re-run the prefab CLI (which generates the cmake file) is here.
However, no changes are detected, although our prefab publication changed. Thus we manually touch a file to mark it as changed, and that will trigger the CLI to run
