Hot damn, your workaround worked !
For anyone looking, here is my implementation : https://gist.github.com/vpfrimmer/49f9eb68db937c37cfea4de8afdab2df
It's dirty but it works.

Also the same issue with android:screenOrientation="landscape" is being ignored or reverted by Unity Android build.

Workaround is to use IPostGenerateGradleAndroidProject (see Unity docs) and find the file "YOUR_PROJECT_ROOT_FOLDER\Library\Bee\Android\Prj\IL2CPP\Gradle\launcher\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml" and modify the "android:installLocation" value by setting it to "auto" then saving the file all within the OnPostGenerateGradleAndroidProject function. That should force it to work.

Also found in version 2022.2.6f1. Can't toggle to drop-down-menu of 'Install Location' (stucks on 'Automatic') but android:installLocation value is not set to “auto”.

Hello, I'm having the exact same issue. Do you have a workaround while we wait for a fix?
