Manifest merge issue. Want to add auth0 but avoid adding manifest place holders

[muhammad.sharookhan]

I am trying to integrate the SDK into a multi-module project. I would prefer not to include manifest placeholders in each module. As it happens, I only require the SDK for one module. However, since other modules are implementing that module where I introduced the SDK, I had to add a manifest placeholder to each module. Is there a method to prevent this?
