I am trying to build my app for Android and I keep getting an error about not being able to merge manifests (I’ve attached a screenshot). I have search around and the suggested solutions I have found have not helped me to resolve my issue. Right now I have no idea how to proceed. The app compiles perfectly for Windows and iOS, but not for Android. I was wondering anyone you could point me toward any potential solutions for the issue?
Look for detail of the first error message. There must be an explanation why merging failed.
As far as I can tell two things are trying to set the App Icon and the Theme. However I have been unable to stop this from occurring thus far. I have tried the tools:replace="android:icon suggestion from the error message however it ended up in a dead end for me so I reverted it using GitHub.
Hello,
If you have created all AndroidManifest.xml files on your own, make sure that android:icon and android:theme are specified only in one of them. Alternatively using tools:replace=“android:icon” and tools:replace=“android:theme” in one of the manifests (preferably the main manifest) should work as well. What error do you get when you add tools:replace?
Thankfully, I have managed to resolve this issue. I tried modifying the manifest file but it continued to give me errors. Ultimately I removed all plugins, then added them back in small groups, building each time. What I discovered was that either Ultimate Mobile (Stan’s Assets) or UTNotifications (Scripting) was causing the issue. In the short term I have simply removed them from the project, however I suspect that they may be needed in future and I will have to try to work out a better solution then.
