Using the new namespace property in build.gradle instead of the package attribute in AndroidManifest.xml while also using a custom applicationIdSuffix breaks androidx.navigation.safeargs plugin.

See sample project. The project does not compile, unless you

add package back to AndroidManifest.xml link or
remove the custom applicationIdSuffix link.
Downgrading Safe Args to < 2.4.4 also fixes it link

The new projects dialog creates working projects (with the legacy package attribute instead of namespace property), but the update assistant offered me to migrate an existing project to the defunct setup.

Studio Build: Chipmunk Version of Gradle Plugin: 7.2.0 Version of Gradle: 7.3.3 Version of Java: 11 OS: MacOS

This issue is for Android Public Tracker > App Development > Android Studio > Gradle > Android Gradle Plugin but I don't have permission to create it there.

Scott, can you check whether the issue is in our API? If not we can forward this to the safe args people.

This is a known issue (internal issue 230786658). The androidx.navigation.safeargs is incorrectly using the applicationId instead of the namespace to namespace the R class.

Leaving this bug open instead of marking it as a duplicate of the internal bug so that everyone can track progress.
