ARCore extensions generates a new mainTemplate.gradle with deprecated features - build warning

[SimonDarksideJ]

Summary

With the Google ARCore Extensions added to a Unity project, it appears to auto-generate a mainTemplate.gradle file, however on subsequent builds this is always reported as using deprecated attributes. Clicking Yes or No does not affect the build in any way and on inspection no attributes appear to be updated. But this happens EVERY build and is very frustrating.

The correct definition is apparently (according to google docs)

// Android Resolver Exclusions Start
android {
  packaging {
      exclude ('/lib/armeabi/*' + '*')
      exclude ('/lib/armeabi-v7a/*' + '*')
      exclude ('/lib/mips/*' + '*')
      exclude ('/lib/mips64/*' + '*')
      exclude ('/lib/x86/*' + '*')
      exclude ('/lib/x86_64/*' + '*')
  }
}
// Android Resolver Exclusions End

But the resolver, even when turned off keeps replacing it and returning back
