Description

I have a MAUI app that uses a native android library created with https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/Maui.NativeLibraryInterop
A dependency of my native java binding exposes an android process with a <provider /> in its manifest.
If i try to run the code without any addition I get a runtime error UnsatisfiedLinkError to native OnCreate() because the android process of the dependency is not initialized by the mono runtime.

The solution that I found was to copy the provider and adding it the android manifest of my MAUI android app. By doing this and looking at the merged manifest of my APK i see that a new provider is created for the mono runtime intialization of that process and the UnsatisfiedLinkError is resolved.

The problem now is that due to security checks of the dependency that I am using there cannot be more than one provider declaring its process, so the checks fail and the dependency won't work.

So is there a way to initialize the runtime without adding anything to the merged manifest or at least like skipping the provider being wrapped in the mono runtime?
