Manifest merger failed : [me.relex:photodraweeview:1.0.0] AndroidManifest.xml:10:9-35 value=(true)

[gihankarunarathne]

After installing react-native-photo-view, I got following error while run react-native run-android (but working with react-native run-ios).

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'.

Manifest merger failed : Attribute application@allowBackup value=(false) from AndroidManifest.xml:16:7-34 is also present at [me.relex:photodraweeview:1.0.0] AndroidManifest.xml:10:9-35 value=(true). Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:allowBackup"' to element at AndroidManifest.xml:14:5-34:19 to override.

As it suggested, I fixed the issue by adding tools:replace="android:allowBackup into the main menifest file. According to the merging priorities of manifest files, it'll override.

But as suggested in this article of 2 lines in Manifest to remove before sharing your Android Library, the better way of handling it is, handle inside the library.

What need to be done : Can we set Attribute application@allowBackup to value=(false) inside the library @alwx ?

Hey guys. I found the solution by thinking deep. The thing is, there is an attribute for andriod application that called by allowbackup In your default application's manifest file, that value is false. But in rn-viewpager's manifest, that value is true by default. This causes conflict normally. You must fix that value. In my side, I changed my applications manifest value with true and fixed !

I made my own fork

[spearmootz]

i did it by adding the following

xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:replace="allowBackup"

to android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml where allowBackup is present

My error had a suggestion:

Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:allowBackup"' to element at AndroidManifest.xml:10:5-27:19 to override.

@spearmootz's Solution was a little off for me. Using tools:replace="allowBackup" caused another error, as allowBackup was missing the android: prefix. Final solution should like like:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 ...
  <application
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    tools:replace="android:allowBackup"
    ...
    android:allowBackup="false"

Adding that allowed compile to continue.

Glad to have helped!
