Question I can't export the apk file

Hello everyone, please I need your help. I have my game on Unity 2019.2.21f1 (64-bit). Every time I try to export the apk, I'm getting the error: Gradle build failed...

To know if the problem is due to the game or the editor, I created a new empty project and was able to export the apk without any problem... That means the JDK, SDK, NDK and gradle are correct.

After doing a lot of tests I realize where the problem is. To find out what was causing the "Gradle build failed" error I started removing things little by little until it allowed me to export the apk and finally it let me export it if I remove the files: "mainTemplate.gradle" and "AndroidManifest. xml" Obviously I can't get rid of AndroidManifest as it's necessary to upload the file to Google play, but if I don't remove the manifest, I get the following error when exporting: "Android Resource Linking failed. See the console for details" and around 1000 new errors appear in console. I think what I should do is modify something in the Android Manifest, I don't know if you see what could be causing the error. This is my Android Manifest.
I really appreciate your comments and help.

Thanks

Share the complete error under "CommandInvocationFailure" entry.

 

Hi, the "Gradle build failed" error should provide more details about the error or the reason why it failed. If I look at the manifest, I think you should change

Code (csharp):

1.  <receiver android:name="mp.MpSMSReceiver">

to

Code (csharp):

1.  <receiver android:exported="true" android:name="mp.MpSMSReceiver">

if it doesn't help try to export the project to the Android Studio and try to build there.

 

Hi Duriga I chanded that but still get the error "Android Resource Linking failed." with 480 errors.

What is the relationship betwen "mainTemplate.gradle" and "AndroidManifest. xml" ?

 

How can I copy all the console errors? There are too much

 

I found the LOG

 

As you can see in "Screenshot_3" there is clear reason of the failure. You have <receiver>, <activity> and <service> elements outside of the <application></application> element.

Just move everything between "Fortumo start" and "Fortumo end" to the correct place and it should work, or you might get next error and you could find it in CommandInvocationFailure log entry exactly like on "Screenshot_3".

Also if you don't know where some elements in manifest should be placed, you can always find out if you check the Android documentation. Here is link to the receiver element for example: <receiver> | Android Developers.

 

My friend... you solved the problem... I can't believe it!!! I've spent over a week trying to figure out where the problem was and you did it right away... I really appreciate your help.
