Android resource linking failed at google_play_service_version in generated menifest

Question

When I set minifyEnabled true and build aar. its giving error 'android resource linking failed' at google_play_services_version in manifest while integrating it to the project.

I have added below code to my aar manifest.

<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

and in proguard-rules.pro i have added

-keepnames class com.google.android.gms.** {*;}

And if i set minifyEnabled false than all works proper.

Can anyone help me out i am stuck.

Answer 1

You are setting the minifyEnabled true then defined the progurad rules for all third parties and other. Update each rule.

Answer 2

I solve this issue by keeping google_play_services_version values.xml file inside our main project.
