Android App Bundle 构建错误：保留文件

Question

The new app publishing format, the Android App Bundle, is an improved way to package your app. The Android App Bundle lets you more easily deliver a great experience in a smaller app size, allowing for the huge variety of Android devices available today. You don't need to refactor your code to start benefiting from a smaller app.

I'm getting this error trying to build my app Android Bundle:

File 'root/AndroidManifest.xml' uses reserved file or directory name 'AndroidManifest.xml'.

APK generation works fine .

This is my project file structure:

And this is my AndroidManifest.xml, located under {ProjectName}/app/src/main :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
            <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

                </application>  
            </manifest>

Answer 1

A much simpler fix until Facebook fixes the SDK would be to add this to the packagingOptions in the android { } block of your app's build.gradle:

android {
   packagingOptions {
      exclude 'AndroidManifest.xml' //This fixes a bug in FAN 5.0.1
   }
}

I can only confirm this works when building an App Bundle, I do not know about a regular APK.

Answer 2

In my case, my error was caused by

com.facebook.android:audience-network-sdk

I only downgrade audience-network-sdk from 5.0.0 to 4.99.3 and everything starting to work fine. I hope this help you.

Updated: As Sebastian said, now you can update audience-network-sdk from 5.0.0 to 5.1.0.

Answer 3

Since October 31, Facebook released version 5.1 of the Audience Network SDK. Using

implementation 'com.facebook.android:audience-network-sdk:5.1.0'

fixed the issue for me.

Answer 4

If I'm reading the file tree right, you have your AndroidManifest.xml file in the res folder, which migth be the reason why you're seeing the error. Try to put the file in {ProjectName}/app/src/main and rebuild the project.

Answer 5

I ran into the same bug. Had to change a few things before getting a working build. For me it was:

1. downgrade facebook audience-network-sdk from 5.0.0 to 4.28.2
2. downgrade okio from 2.1.0 to 2.0.0
3. update proguard config for okio, okhttp & retrofit
4. not using R8

I hope this helps you.

Answer 6

Late to answer but I was facing the same issue with slightly different scenario. I was not using the above mentioned facebook library but it was some other library, which I could not figure out because of less info by the build.

I had one sub module (say module1 ) which was including another library, which further had many dependencies. So I put,

packagingOptions {
        exclude 'AndroidManifest.xml'
}

In the build.gradle of module1 and then the issue was resolved.

Just writing this answer to convey putting in app 's build.gradle might not solve issue for all the cases.

Thanks a lot @Jason for showing the right direction.

Answer 7

To those who what to know why facebook library has such issue:

You can download the aar file from maven respository , then drag it into Android Studio and expand the classes.jar . You would see there is a manifest file inside the classes.jar .
