错误：不支持XML版本“2.0”，仅支持XML 1.0

Question

I have tried updating my app to newer version to publish it to google play store, however when I change the version and generate the signed APK I get this error: Error:XML version "2.0" is not supported, only XML 1.0 is supported. I have absolutely no idea what could be causing it. Can anyone point me in the right direction or at least tell me where I should find what's wrong??

Answer 1

Open your manifest file and change xml version from 2.0 to 1.0. It should run properly now.

<?xml version="2.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

to

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Answer 2

I faced this problem before, so the solution is here.

Try to increase your versionCode and change your versionName in gradle file only.

Do not increase the version in manifest file.

versionCode 2 // an example (if the previous one was 1)

versionName 1.1 // an example (if the previous one was 1.0)
