I was digging for hours. This is the tool that I used in the end: https://github.com/WindySha/ManifestEditor

I had to to use slightly different AndroidManifest.xml settings for different environments. Decompiling and compiling again with apktool was really slowing down CI/CD process so ManifestEditor was life saver. It is based on AXMLEditor.
