reexport_providers.bzl has been deleted from rules_android, so looks like this needs to be updated to use latest rules_android from head

This bug seems to prevent my project from being able to use Bazel 8.0.0rc1. It sounds like we just need a new release cut at this point that captures changes that fixed this?

[sgowroji]

@ahumesky Any update on the above issue ?

No longer fails as described in the initial issue description.
