I want to modify this URL in the corresponding bbappend file in my custom BSP layer. I tried specifying the new URL using the SRC_URI+, but when I built the package it ends up with error as it tries to fetch the URL in the original .bb file and doesn't take the fixed URL from the bbappend file.

Its better to cherry-pick the above commit into your meta-ivi layer.
Managing it via bbappend will be clunky, since you have to redefine
complete SRC_URI including patches and so on.
