Similar happening for us…builds were working fine yesterday and broken today. Error we’re seeing (I removed our company name in the path):

We are the same.
I has not been updated the master branch of Git, and rebuilt it today, the following error occurred.

[Unity] XmlException: ‘tools’ is undeclared namespace. file:///BUILD_PATH/-------------------------/Temp/StagingArea/AndroidManifest.xml Line 10, position 1

4

I added xmlns:tools=“http://schemas.android.com/tools” to the manifest tag in our android manifest and that seems to work. Not sure why it’s only just breaking today, but this is a decent fix for now

Same problem here

Thank you!

I corrected it the same way, it seems to be working normally.

However, since it can be built locally, I do not know why it stopped working.

It may be modified by Unity’s team.

Just updated cloud build from unity 5.6.0f3 to 5.6.3p1 and we got :

Adding

on AndroidManifest (Assets/Plugins/Android/AndroidManifest.xml) did the trick…

8

any from unity team?

9

[QUOTE=Adding on AndroidManifest (Assets/Plugins/Android/AndroidManifest.xml) did the trick…[/QUOTE]

We’re on 5.6.3p1, is it possible for you to try that and see if it builds? Also, did you try the second suggestion in your console output?

20750: [Unity] Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:icon"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest-main.xml:5:3-14:17 to override.

It might be that the tools reference is ignored if it isn’t then used anywhere (just guessing I’m afraid)?

thank you for reply but I dont know how to add it in my manifest , here my sample android manifest

Going just by the suggestions in your console output, you could try :

Thank you for reply…will try this one :slight_smile:

If those changes don’t help: I just ran a test with the version 5.6.2f1 of Unity and the build fails with manifest issues. Pointing back to 5.6.3p1 works again fine, if you can update to that version it might solve your problem for now (as long as you include xmlns:tools=“http://schemas.android.com/tools” in your manifest tag).

17

On a side note, the cloud build manifest also seems to add extra permissions that we don’t want (these aren’t in our manifest and don’t appear in local builds)

<android:uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
    <android:uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>
    <android:uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
18

Same problem. xmlns:tools=“http://schemas.android.com/tools” hasn’t solved my problem on Unity 5.5.4p3.

After upgrade to Unity 5.6.3f1 , my problem had solved.

getting another problem…after last fix getting this error

I see this too! I thought I was going crazy. Can someone at Unity comment on where READ_PHONE_STATE is coming from and why?
