Unity uses the Android SDK that is installed on your machine and runs a few tools that are bundled with it.

The manifest merger is one example of such a tool.

This tool is located in ools\lib\manifest-merger.jar

For some reason, it fails to find a method (seen in the stack trace you attached):

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.android.utils.XmlUtils.getUtfReader(Ljava/io/File;)Ljava/io/Reader;

You didn’t specify which Android SDK version and Unity version you’re using, but I believe updating to the latest Android SDK should solve this issue.
