Yes, the issue is that we generate a single folder with all the resources resolved (with flavors overriding values coming from defaultConfig) and then that folder is added to the ResourceSet setup for the main/defaultConfig.
This would require us to instead not merge the res values coming from build type/default config/flavors and instead create a new res folder for each and let the resource merger merge them with the regular resources.

This has been fixed and should be released in AGP version 8.0.0-alpha05
Description
Android gradle plugin version: 0.13.1
OS: MacOS
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Add a string to res/values/strings.xml
e.g. <string name="app_name">SimpleTest</string>
2. Add a product flavor which overrides this string:
productFlavors {
INT {
resValue "string", "app_name", "SimpleTest INT"
}
}
3. Execute:
gradle assembleINTDebug
EXPECTED RESULTS:
Build succeeds and the app is named "SimpleTest INT"
OBSERVED RESULTS:
Build fails with error:
:SimpleTest:mergeINTDebugResources FAILED
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':SimpleTest:mergeINTDebugResources'.
> /Users/xyz/AndroidStudioProjects/SimpleTest/SimpleTest/build/generated/res/generated/INT/debug/values/generated.xml: Error: Duplicate resources: /Users/xyz/AndroidStudioProjects/SimpleTest/SimpleTest/build/generated/res/generated/INT/debug/values/generated.xml:string/app_name, /Users/xyz/AndroidStudioProjects/SimpleTest/SimpleTest/src/main/res/values/strings.xml:string/app_name
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
When I add a resource file via a sourceSet for this build flavor instead of using resValue, I can successfully override the app_name.
I think setting a resource with resValue should behave the same as when using a sourceSet.
