Resources not found exception when applicationId is altered

[apolatynski]

Running Robolectric tests fail with a android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException when in build.gradle the applicationId is changed.

The exception happens when applicationId is set in defaultConfig or a build flavor to a value different than the one in the AndroidManifest. Same thing happens when applicationIdSuffix is used.

Just changing the applicationId should not give any erros but use different applicationIds is a known issue. Try the posted workaround robolectric/robolectric#1623 (comment)
