Where unity-android-resources\AndroidManifest.xml is came from

hi! i recently upgrade my Unity version to 2017, and try to use gradle build.

But during Android build i encountered some issues with

[Temp\StagingArea\AndroidManifest-main.xml:2, \Temp\StagingArea\android-libraries\unity-android-resources\AndroidManifest.xml:1] Main manifest has <uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion='25'> but library uses targetSdkVersion='26'

Therefore i found AndroidManifest.xml in \Temp\StagingArea\android-libraries\unity-android-resources\ has some problem.

so i want to change the file, but i cannot find where it come from. I search all 'AndroidManifest.xml' in my project but i cannot find similiar with it.

Is there anyone know about this?

 

why have to set target sdkversion to 26,Is the unity 2017 depends on it ???
i have Android resources in Assets/Plugins/Android/res,and don't want to chnage to sdk 26,Is there a good way for me ?

 

ok thank you for the reply!!!

 

As a small side note:
The 'unity-android-resources' is auto generated by Unity to, effectively, automate JulisM's Option 2.
However, it does not appear to respect the PlayerSettings->target SDK value and, instead, seems to be hardwired to use 26.

(On the plus side, it _did_ force me to _finally_ move the 'res' files into my own proper library.)

 

Unity version: Unity 2017.2
I have the same issue, and for some reason I must use sdkVersion 25, I have set the Target API Level in Player Settings to 25, but I still get this error. Is that means I must use sdk 26 on Unity 2017.2?

Did anyone solve the problem ?

 

No, seems sdk 26 is a must on Unity 2017.2.

 

I think I found a proper solution for this issue. I wrote a blog about it. Follow TLDR if you are in a hurry.
