Unable to merge android manifests. Trying to merge incompatible element with unity 2017

Hello,

I am unable to build my android project. I understood that there are 2 manifest files with different data. I just don’t know how to make them the same.

Below is the error I get:

CommandInvokationFailure: Unable to merge android manifests. 
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -Xmx2048M -Dcom.android.sdkmanager.toolsdir="/Users/mohamad/Development/android-sdk-macosx/tools" -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -jar "/Applications/Unity/PlaybackEngines/AndroidPlayer/Tools/sdktools.jar" -

stderr[

How to solve this? i have been searching for an entire day :frowning:

Hi,
Did you find any solution? I am facing this.

you can see the difference of @android:exported=“false” in both files go in android manifest file and remove it
