[REQUIRED] Please fill in the following fields:

• Unity editor version: 2020.3.17f1
• External Dependency Manager version: 1.2.171
• Source you installed EDM4U: .unitypackage
• Features in External Dependency Manager in use: Android Resolver
• Plugins SDK in use: Firebase, Facebook
• Platform you are using the Unity editor on: Mac

[REQUIRED] Please describe the issue here:

1. Open Unity project

2. Switch to Android target

3. Build for Android

   mainTemplate.gradle will look like this:

   def unityProjectPath = $/file:///**DIR_UNITYPROJECT**/$.replace("\\", "/")
   maven {
       url (unityProjectPath + "/Assets/GeneratedLocalRepo/Firebase/m2repository") // Assets/Firebase/Editor/AnalyticsDependencies.xml:18, Assets/Firebase/Editor/AppDependencies.xml:22, Assets/Firebase/Editor/CrashlyticsDependencies.xml:20, Assets/Firebase/Editor/DynamicLinksDependencies.xml:20
   }

   and generated unityLibrary/build.gradle will look like this:

   def unityProjectPath = $/file:////Users/marekzd/Documents/projects/unity-project/$.replace("\\", "/")
   maven {
       url (unityProjectPath + "/Assets/GeneratedLocalRepo/Firebase/m2repository") // Assets/Firebase/Editor/AnalyticsDependencies.xml:18, Assets/Firebase/Editor/AppDependencies.xml:22, Assets/Firebase/Editor/CrashlyticsDependencies.xml:20, Assets/Firebase/Editor/DynamicLinksDependencies.xml:20
   }

   additionally ProjectSettings/AndroidResolverDependencies.xml will change to:

   <setting name="projectExportEnabled" value="False" />

4. Export Android project to Android Studio

   mainTemplate.gradle will change to:

   def unityProjectPath = $/file:///**DIR_UNITYPROJECT**/$.replace("\\", "/")
   maven {
       url "file:////Users/marekzd/Documents/projects/unity-project/Assets/GeneratedLocalRepo/Firebase/m2repository" // Assets/Firebase/Editor/AnalyticsDependencies.xml:18, Assets/Firebase/Editor/AppDependencies.xml:22, Assets/Firebase/Editor/CrashlyticsDependencies.xml:20, Assets/Firebase/Editor/DynamicLinksDependencies.xml:20
   }

   and unityLibrary/build.gradle in exported project will look like this:

   def unityProjectPath = $/file:////Users/marekzd/Documents/projects/unity-project/$.replace("\\", "/")
   maven {
       url "file:////Users/marekzd/Documents/projects/unity-project/Assets/GeneratedLocalRepo/Firebase/m2repository" // Assets/Firebase/Editor/AnalyticsDependencies.xml:18, Assets/Firebase/Editor/AppDependencies.xml:22, Assets/Firebase/Editor/CrashlyticsDependencies.xml:20, Assets/Firebase/Editor/DynamicLinksDependencies.xml:20
   }

   additionally ProjectSettings/AndroidResolverDependencies.xml will change to:

   <setting name="projectExportEnabled" value="True" />

5. When you will build for Android once again mainTemplate.gradle and ProjectSettings/AndroidResolverDependencies.xml will change once again.

Would it be possible to avoid changing these files during building ?
These changes frequently ends up in random commits and obscure them.

Would it be possible to always use unityProjectPath in mainTemplate.gradle generated code ?

Here seems to be a code responsible for these changes in mainTemplate.gradle.
