AndroidManifest.xml 中的属性 application@allowBackup value=(false) 也存在于 [:barcodescanner:] AndroidManifest.xml value=(true)

Question

I'm trying to set the allowBackup attribute in my ionic 3 app manifest to false but gradle complains with the following error:

Attribute application@allowBackup value=(false) from AndroidManifest.xml:4:18-45 is also present at [:barcodescanner:] AndroidManifest.xml:12:9-35 value=(true). Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:allowBackup"' to element at AndroidManifest.xml:4:5-11:19 to override.

To Set allowBackup=false using below line in config.xml file

<platform name="android"> <edit-config file="AndroidManifest.xml" target="/manifest/application" mode="merge"> <application android:allowBackup="false"/> </edit-config> </platform>

I use Barcode Scanner in my ionic 3 app.(Repo: https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner recommended in https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/barcode-scanner/ )

please help me. Thanks!

You have to tell the compiler to ignore the attribute from the external library. The way to do that is to add this line in application tag:

tools:replace="android:allowBackup"

PS: To access the tools add xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" in the manifest tag at the top.
