Androidmanifest.xml build failed

Construct_Games · August 6, 2024, 10:17pm

Hey there, I recently tried packaging a new build for api 34 because google play now requires it but I’m coming across a error about my androidmanifest being invalid.
I’ve removed my binaries, build, intermediate, saved and derived data cache folders to see if this would clear and but the warning persists.

I’ve checked through all of the configs i could find online to see if i could resolve this but the manifest mentioned in the log doesn’t get generated as far as i can see and i cannot find one in the engine folder either.

Did you add or copy paste something connected to your android manifest? The error you’re encountering might be related to incorrectly formatted apostrophes or quotation marks. Try typing it manually.

Maybe on this part

Change it to this (type the apostrophes and don’t copy paste)

com.google.android.gms.games.APP_ID=“@string/app_id”
com.google.android.gms.appstate.APP_ID=“@string/app_id”
android:exported=“true”

I’ve not added anything to the manifest file, more worrying is it doesn’t seem to exist at all in the project folder so I can’t make any changes to correct it.

The project will cook content fine but attempting to package will just error near the end.
I’ve reinstalled the engine as well as the java packages but no luck so far.

It sounds like you’re dealing with a tricky issue. Have you tried creating a new project and then migrating the content from the problematic project into the new one? This approach can sometimes resolve hidden issues related to configuration files and project settings.
