Developing for Android - Gradle Error / AndroidManifest - Resource 'drawable/app_banner' not found

Question

I've tried for the last three days searc$$anonymous$$ng and trying different solutions to t$$anonymous$$s issue and about to headbutt my laptop.

I took out the lines in the manifest, in various ways....taking out the whole line, taking out the @drawable/app_icon lines, replacing the @drawable with @mipmap, and yet still not$$anonymous$$ng or more related errors to the line:

 <application android:theme = "@style/UnityThemeSelector" android:icon='@drawable/app_icon' android:label='@string/app_name' android:isGame='true' android:banner='@drawable/app_banner'>

Tried: http://shob$$anonymous$$tsamaria.com/troubleshooting-unity-build-android-platform/ https://answers.unity.com/questions/1542418/gradle-error-ressource-not-found.html

And a bunch more that I do not care to re-visit, but if you want I can list them here......later.

T$$anonymous$$s started happening when I started to delete files that I no longer needed - is that what causes t$$anonymous$$s mess? It's been D L L hell.

How can I fix t$$anonymous$$s other than what I've listed so far? I re-installed Android SDK's, upgraded Unity (even though I'm in the middle of a project and usually that's frowned upon and avoided like the plague)

I was grasping at straws at t$$anonymous$$s point. My project is using two plugins, but had a t$$anonymous$$rd one w$$anonymous$$ch I removed (Would that be the cause?)

Ugh...

T$$anonymous$$s is a bit older question but maybe it will help somebody. I encountered t$$anonymous$$s problem after importing an Android related asset just to find out later that my previous Manifest.xml got replaced with a new one that contained the android:banner='@drawable/app_banner'. The SOLUTION for me was to jus t DELETE that "banner" part from the manifest. I am no professional or experienced Unity nor Android developer but I guess if you do not need the banner for somet$$anonymous$$ng specificaly, then just remove it as it tries to look for the image associated with the banner that does not exist.

My lessons from t$$anonymous$$s issue is to always double check what I am importing with each asset as it can cause unwanted ridiculous errors. alt text

In case any juan else got stuck on t$$anonymous$$s issue. After much trial and error and copious amounts of crying...

I deleted the Android Manifest.xml wit$$anonymous$$n the plugin/android folder. Restarted Unity and then ran the build. After a long wait of suspense the build was successful.

So, after much wrestling with the build and the project....I honestly cant say what it was that did it. I edited the AndroidManifest.xml file, re-installed the Android Studio, upgraded Unity, adjusted my player settings and re-imported grap$$anonymous$$cs that were originally used. Apparently, t$$anonymous$$s is a hell-hole of an issue that requires many trial and error approaches....I still haven't nailed down what caused it to go wonky. T$$anonymous$$s is the second time its happened to me and each time was completely different errors in terms of the details but still under the "Gradle" / DLL issue.

If it does happen again, I'll do the smart t$$anonymous$$ng and write down each t$$anonymous$$ng I did and post it here....hopefully, you've gotten yours solved by now? If not, definitely write down the steps you did and didnt do....

Has anyone figured out exactly what causes t$$anonymous$$s error and how to fix it? I've found that t$$anonymous$$s is only an issue with Unity 2018.3, 2018.2 seems to build fine.
