App Icon is replacing when use: tools:replace="android:theme"

[aasif-306]

Hi Team,

I'm encountering an issue while integrating the @digiotech/react-native package into my project. Specifically, when I add tools:replace="android:theme" in the tag of my AndroidManifest.xml to resolve a manifest merge conflict, it removes my app icon. Moreover, even if I upload the bundle to the Google Play Console, the app gets rejected.

However, if I do not include tools:replace="android:theme", I encounter the following build error:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugMainManifest'.
> Manifest merger failed : Attribute application@theme value=(@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar) from AndroidManifest.xml:26:7-50
        is also present at [com.github.digio-tech:protean-esign:v3.2] AndroidManifest.xml:63:9-40 value=(@style/AppTheme).
        Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:theme"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:5:5-8:50 to override.

Could you please help me resolve this conflict in a way that doesn't interfere with the app icon or cause Play Store rejection?

Here are the versions I'm using:

@digiotech/react-native: ^2.0.2
react-native: ^0.75.0

Thank you — looking forward to your guidance.
