AndroidManifest-main.xml merging error

Question

I'm trying to build a simple vr application onto a samsung s7 edge, using unity 5.6.1f1.

When I build, I get the error message "unable to merge android manifests. See the console for more details".

It seems to be a slightly different error from others who have this problem, here are the two clues I get from the console:

 C:\Users\n\Documents\VRtest3\Temp\StagingArea\AndroidManifest-main.xml:4:125-150 Error:
     Attribute application@debuggable value=(true) from AndroidManifest-main.xml:4:125-150
     is also present at AndroidManifest.xml:3:148-174 value=(false).

     Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:debuggable"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest-main.xml:4:3-12:17 to override.

 

 C:\Users\n\Documents\VRtest3\Temp\StagingArea\AndroidManifest-main.xml:4:16-57 Error:
     Attribute application@theme value=(@style/UnityThemeSelector) from AndroidManifest-main.xml:4:16-57 is also present at AndroidManifest.xml:3:83-147 value=(@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen).

     Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:theme"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest-main.xml:4:3-12:17 to override.

Thanks in advance for any info on the easiest way to solve this.

*Edit - I found a way to change the AndroidManifest.xml to solve these two errors, but I then recieve an error that "Theme.Black.NoTitleBar" cannot be found... perhaps I just don't have the correct version of the sdk/ndk/unity installed?

Hey @bbio , same issue here using unity 5.6.1f1.

Try this (worked for me):

Windows -> C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\Apk (Apple should be similar)
Save the original AndroidManifest.xml. (just in case)

Use ADM permission to edit the file and remove the lines:

  android:debuggable="true"  
  android:theme="@style/UnityThemeSelector"

Save it and build your app again.

Goodluck!!

P.S. My Android SDK config:

Platform -> Android-25 ( 3 )

Platform-Tools -> 25.0.6

Build-tools -> 23.0.3

Tools -> 26.0.1

Thanks, I was having the same issue though in the error log it is suggesting to make changes in the manifest file, I did those changes but that didn't work. I went through your suggestion and it worked fine. I am using Unity 5.6.1f1 Many thanks! @AugMac

Yestoday it worked, however today it does not work.

When building it will generate two AndroidManifests, which contain some conflicts

Loading library manifest C:\Users\kaennkyou\Documents\VuforiaGear002\Temp\StagingArea\android-libraries\gvr\AndroidManifest.xml Loading library manifest C:\Users\kaennkyou\Documents\VuforiaGear002\Temp\StagingArea\android-libraries\unitygvr\AndroidManifest.xml Merging main manifest Temp\StagingArea\AndroidManifest-main.xml Merging library manifest C:\Users\kaennkyou\Documents\VuforiaGear002\Temp\StagingArea\android-libraries\gvr\AndroidManifest.xml Merging manifest with lower AndroidManifest.xml:2:1-4:12 Merging uses-sdk with lower AndroidManifest.xml:3:5-73 C:\Users\kaennkyou\Documents\VuforiaGear002\Temp\StagingArea\AndroidManifest-main.xml:3:3-72 Error: uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 14 cannot be smaller than version 16 declared in library C:\Users\kaennkyou\Documents\VuforiaGear002\Temp\StagingArea\android-libraries\gvr\AndroidManifest.xml Suggestion: use tools:overrideLibrary="com.google.vr.cardboard" to force usage

@AugMac I have encountered this problem recently and your answer came up. May I ask what ADM is?

Hello @AugMac, @hixiaohe Still doesnt work for me, alas.

I'm 2017.1

everything else is updated & new project started / the Android Manifest file just keeps recreating itself when I delete it

still: D:\U3D\M2VR\Temp\StagingArea\AndroidManifest-main.xml:4:16-57 Error: Attribute application@theme value=(@style/UnityThemeSelector) from AndroidManifest-main.xml:4:16-57 is also present at AndroidManifest.xml:3:83-147 value=(@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen). Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:theme"' to element at AndroidManifest-main.xml:4:3-12:17 to override.

I fix it (v2017.0f3)

1) just open https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html

2) scroll down to the bottom of that page

3) go to downloads

4) scroll down to the bottom of that page

5) find Windows "tools_r25.2.3-windows.zip" download and unzip it

5) find MacOSX "tools_r25.2.3-macosx.zip" download and unzip it.

6) In the SDK path replace the tools folder.
