Android Manifest merger failed with multiple errors

[NxsHbb]

I installed crisp in the react native project. It worked fine with IOS but it is failing with the following error in Android.

Task :app:processDebugMainManifest FAILED

How can i solve it?

[baptistejamin]

Hello !

We got incompatibility reports with @react-native-firebase.

It's on the way to be fixed

[NxsHbb]

Can anybody give me a temporary workaround so that i can continue using it. I actually do not need push notification for crisp chat. Is there any workaround that i can use?

[rodrigo-junqueira]

@NxsHbb Add this to your AndroidManifest.xml:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

<application
            android:name=".MainApplication"
           ...
            
             <meta-data
                tools:replace="android:value"
                android:name="firebase_analytics_collection_enabled"
                android:value="true" />

[NxsHbb]

@rodrigo-junqueira

I've tried putting it in my AndroidManifest.xml file (both debug and main). No use. Same error.

I've added my AndroidManifest.xml file content in the detail section. Can you have a look please?

[rodrigo-junqueira]

@NxsHbb Like this?

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

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>

    <application
        android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
        tools:targetApi="28"
        tools:ignore="GoogleAppIndexingWarning">
         <meta-data
                tools:replace="android:value"
                android:name="firebase_analytics_collection_enabled"
                android:value="true" />
        <activity android:name="com.facebook.react.devsupport.DevSettingsActivity" android:exported="false" />
    </application>
</manifest>

[dackom]

I have the same issue. Any workaround until it's fixed?

[astanb]

Downgrade to 0.15.2, doesn't have the push stuff in it and builds perfectly fine.

[NxsHbb]

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>

<application
    android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
    tools:targetApi="28"
    tools:ignore="GoogleAppIndexingWarning">

Hi,

I'm the developer behind the Crisp Android SDK.

This issue has already been reported to us for a native app on our own repo and @baptistejamin told me about this same issue reported by you on React Native.

I let you read how to fix it in the #202 comment I already wrote. We've also added a Disclaimer section at the top of the Notifications article of our wiki to let you know of Firebase default values we set, why an how to override them.

[enchorb]

+1

[Doc1faux]

Finally, after discussing about it with @baptistejamin, we have decided to remove any Firebase meta-data declaration in the Crisp SDK AndroidManifest.xml file, letting developers set them if needed.

We have just released a new 2.0.10 version with this update, a new version for the React Native bridge will come soon.

[FlawaCLV]

Thanks @Doc1faux 🙌 Can't wait for the React Native release!

Hi @NxsHbb,

androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.7.0 is the most recent Appcompat release we can use and I don't know why it can cause build errors in your project.

Do you really need to use Gradle 9 which is not even in its RC phase? I think you could downgrade to the most recent AGP 8.8 and Gradle 8.10.2.

We currently stick to AGP 8.3.1 and Gradle 8.5, we tried recently to upgrade to the latest AGP and Gradle but we got build errors with our "FAT AAR" we need to fix.
