Android Manifest Error Manifest file doesn't end with a final newline

Question

Error:

---

Manifest file doesn't end with a final newline...

Checks whether a manifest file ends with a final newline (as required by JAR specifications)

Expected ":"

Here's the AndroidManifest

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.myapplication2.app" >

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name="com.myapplication2.app.MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

</manifest>

It shows on the android.intent.action.MAIN line, underlined in red...Android Studio - which it says is the latest version when I click check for updates.

It started to show on a project that had a perfectly working manifest file. After failed results from researching the error, I made a new project - all defaults - latest version - and did File->Invalidate Caches and Restart (one suggestion I found) but still the same error.

Any ideas, am I missing a setting, etc... thx

Click on the word with the red line (that causes the mentioned error) Click Alt+Enter and choose

Un-inject Language/Reference

That's it! At least this worked for me on the same error
