ERROR getting 'name' attribute: attribute is not a string value

Question

Uploading my apk file to google play makes this error:

Your APK cannot be analyzed using aapt. Error output: Failed to run aapt dump badging: ERROR getting 'name' attribute: attribute is not a string value

Since I know that this problem is within my manifest file, I have put it here:

I have checked all android:name attributes and couldn't find the problem. Thank you all.

Answer 1

so after searching a little I have found three options for you to do:

1- if you have something as follows (which I see you don't ):

<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="@string/alarm_auto_sync" >
</intent-filter>

you should hard code the string and remove @string

2- follow this bug to see what could and have been done to solve this issue as I found out this might be the bug of

aapt dump badging

3- if you have values-fa and values-en and other string values as such you should copy your android:name to values.

for more information on these options visit this question or this question

hope this helps

Answer 2

You can go for below suggested link. I hope it helps you.
