When I run lint (during lintVitalAnalyzeRelease) with the following meta-data it fails with EnsureInitializerMetadata. If I replace ${applicationId} with the actual value it works. I also find it odd that the ${applicationId} placeholder works fine in the provider's android:authorities a few lines above.

<provider
    android:name="androidx.startup.InitializationProvider"
    android:authorities="${applicationId}.androidx-startup"
    android:exported="false"
    tools:node="merge">
    <meta-data
        android:name="${applicationId}.startup.initializers.FooAppInitializer"
        android:value="androidx.startup" />
</provider>

I was able to suppress it by configuring this in the app/build.gradle but I'd obviously rather not need to.

lint {
    disable += "EnsureInitializerMetadata"
}

This seems similar to https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/265962219.

Thank you!
