Release apk export missing icons and splashes

[noidexe]

Godot version

3.4.beta1.official

System information

Windows 10, GLES 3, GTX 2060

Issue description

Apks in release mode lack custom icons and splashes. It works well when doing debug exports.
Here's a comparison of the res folder in both apk (release on the left, debug on the right).
Update: the directory structure seems unrelated to the error. When building the APK on release mode using the Androd Build Template all icons and splashes are exported correctly

Workaround: Install Android Build Template and select "Custom Build" in export settings

Steps to reproduce

Export debug and release apks

Minimal reproduction project

Icon and Splash Missing.zip

@noidexe Please upload a minimal reproduction project to make this easier to troubleshoot.

Also, are you using the old APK-based way to export a project, or the new custom build/AAB-based way?

[noidexe]

Added an empty project with the icon and slashes, and a fresh signing key generated just as explained in the docs.

I'm using the old APK-based way (the current default AFAIK).

Here's a verbose log of a debug and release export. See the weird filenames when exporting as release:

When I export as release using 3.2.2 it generates the correct filenames

[noidexe]

The issue seems limited to the old method of exporting. If you install the android template, tick Custom Build and export as APK it seems to work just fine. Added it as a workaround in the issue description.

[m4gr3d]

Looks like the release build template was optimized when it wasn't in the past. Could be a side effect of the upgrade to the plugin version; I'll take a look.

[m4gr3d]

According to the documentation:
When building the release version of your app, by default, R8 automatically performs the compile-time tasks described above for you.

So yes, release builds are optimized by default. It should be possible to disable that however.

On 3.4 using the custom android template I get the same directory structure with short names (I guess that's the optimized one?) but the icon and splashes are there, so I don't know if that is the cause.
