Has anyone been able to solve the Android Manifests bug?

There seems to be a bug in Unity which gives an error for the Android Manifests. If you're not familiar with the error, i'll post it below. Has anyone been able to find a fix for this yet?

I don't think Unity handles Android 'preview' tools very well. This issue should be fixed starting Unity 5.3.4p6, according to this bug that is listed in the release notes:
(788040) - Android: Buildpipe - Don't make use of preview SDK tools installed.

They should just pick the newest (non preview) version of tools that is installed,

 

Hi liortal, it turns out the issue was being caused by Admob, and I fixed it by following the answers here: https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-unity/issues/225

Thanks a lot for your help

 

Cool glad u got it working

 

So, in short, this is not really a bug. This error was caused by having 2 support-v4.jar/.aar in the same project. Remove one and the error will be fixed.

This is a common problem when using multiple plugins, especially those which have auto-resolver (i.e. automatically add support-v4 or Google-Play-Services library to the project). This feature is convenient, but at the same time, can be a nightmare.

Also, beware of those play-services-XXX.aar, they are incompatible with google-play-services_lib. Those .aar are part of the google-play-services_lib. So, if you are going to work if a plugin that needs the library, remember to remove those .aar and keep the library, unless you know which modules the plugin needs.

 

yes,below the Plugins/Android,play-services-ads-8.4.0.aar,play-services-basement-8.4.0.arr and google-play-services_lib folder.
when delete the google-play-services_lib folder,it works well!

 

So this not Unity bug but user error then!!

 

I used https://github.com/unity-plugins/google-play-game-service-unity-plugin and not this bug
