Error with manifest when uploading APK to Google Play

Question

I used Basic4Android to make my application.

This is my manifest file:

Please help.

Answer 1

If you are uploading a zip file that contains the Manifest and the apk file, then please don't. You just have to upload/submit the apk file. Make sure that you sign the apk file with a release key and not the default debug key/certificate.

Your apk file already contains manifest file in it. So, no need to zip it again.

Answer 2

You do not upload a .zip file you just upload the .apk . Google play can get the AndroidManifest.xml data straigt from the .apk file.

For more just follow the Publishing Guide
