Values that should be present in AndroidManifest.xml vs build.<name>.gradle

I am in the process of updating Extracted RC to 11.1.0 and I am wondering what values should be present in the AndroidManifest.xml files vs the Gradle files.

For the most part the AndroidMaifests extracted from the AAR files have package, versionCode, versionName, and minSDK set in them, but the ones in this repo seems to only have package except for RobotCore and Vision, so I don't know what standard to follow. As well all these options are set again in Gradle.

Should the Manifests have none of these and all the options be set in gradle? (I think this is the recommended way to do it)
Should the Manifests all just have package?
Should the Manifests be left as extracted from the AARs to maintain accuracy to the stock app and for ease of updating (less to change in gradle)? If so, should the all the options be removed from Gradle?

Going off memory - I believe that Android development standard practice historically placed those values in the manifest, but recent practice with modern versions of gradle is to define them in the gradle files; however, the Android toolchain migrates the values from the gradle scripts to the manifest when building.

Realistically, for this project, these version codes really are not all that important.

Okay. I will follow the modern best practice, put everything in gradle and take the values out of the manifest.
