Describe the bug
Get the following error when building the app

Manifest merger failed : Attribute application@allowBackup value=(false) from AndroidManifest.xml:10:13-40
	is also present at [com.github.vipulasri:timelineview:1.1.0] AndroidManifest.xml:12:9-35 value=(true).
	Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:allowBackup"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:9:5-49:19 to override.

To Reproduce

• Create Simple Jetpack app
• Add Timeline-view dependency
• Build the app

Expected behavior
App build without any errors

Doing following
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:allowBackup"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:9:5-49:19 to override.

does fix the problem. But I think there is some dependency issue.
