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"

android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar"

<provider

android:authorities="@string/facebook_provider"
android:exported="true"
tools:replace="android:authorities" />
<!-- Fabric -->
<meta-data

</application>
</manifest>
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.
