I'm trying to upload my AR application to the Google Play Console and am getting errors with each attempt. The application is built in Unity with ARCore using gradle. I'm new to Android development and I'm trying to edit my AndroidManifest.xml but I think I am doing something wrong.
Initially I was trying to build an APK with split application binary in Unity, but was only allowed to export a .gradle file. So I've opened this in Android Studio and built an APK and AAB to upload to the Google Play Console.
The AAB file upload yielded this error:
The ARCore dependency type com.google.ar.core is missing from the AndroidManifest.xml file although the meta-data tag com.google.ar.core.min_apk_version has been specified.
I tried adding implementation 'com.google.ar:core:1.12.0' to the AndroidManifest dependencies, but the gradle project sync fails.
Do I need to edit the manifest further?
Any help is appreciated!
UPDATE: I have added the ARCore dependency in the gradle file and have tagged AR core in the manifest.
This is the .gradle file:
// GENERATED BY UNITY. REMOVE THIS COMMENT TO PREVENT OVERWRITING WHEN EXPORTING AGAIN
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.2'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
google()
flatDir {

}
}
}
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
dependencies {
implementation 'com.google.ar:core:1.12.0'
}
dependencies {

Manifest merger failed : Attribute meta-data#com.google.ar.core.min_apk_version@value value=(190805000) from [com.google.ar:core:1.12.0] AndroidManifest.xml:35:13-38 is also present at [:arcore_client:] AndroidManifest.xml:43:13-38 value=(180525000). Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:value"' to element at AndroidManifest.xml:33:9-35:41 to override.
but my Merged Manifest tab lists only one Manifest Source and some Other Manifest Files not contributing any elements. I am trying to add
tools:replace="android:value"
But I can only find a single manifest in my project, and adding it yields additional errors when I try to build an APK.
Can anyone direct me to exactly where and how to fix my merge conflict?
For example when I add it to my manifest like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

The dependency of ARCore goes in the gradle file. You request that dependency like this:
dependencies {
implementation 'com.google.ar:core:1.11.0'
}
Do you have the ARCore tag in your manifest?
<application>
<meta-data android:name="com.google.ar.core" android:value="optional" />
</application>
