Mandatory Manifest-Version attribute missing

Question

So I just update the compileSdkVersion to 26 and can't seem to find what's causing this issue when compiling:

Caused by: java.io.IOException: Failed to generate v1 signature

...

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Mandatory Manifest-Version attribute missing

Only thing I've tried is adding the version codes to the manifest instead of the gradle file but doesn't seem to impact anything.

Here's part of my gradle build file

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    buildToolsVersion "26.0.2"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "xxx.xxx.com"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 25
        versionCode xxx
        versionName "x.x.x"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
        vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    packagingOptions {
        pickFirst  'META-INF/*'

    }
    dexOptions {
         javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
    }
}

And the whole stacktrace:

Answer 1

The stacktrace pointed me to this line which looks for Attributes.Name.MANIFEST_VERSION.

Per javadocs Attributes.Name.MANIFEST_VERSION is Manifest-Version.

Then I saw the jar causing my issues had a MANIFEST.MF but the file was empty. All the other MAINFEST.MF files had one line: Manifest-Version: 1.0.

I added Manifest-Version: 1.0 to the empty MAINFEST.MF which solved my problem.

Note: You can rename the .jar file to a .zip file and can open it using any compression tool such as winrar or winzip to see/edit the content.

Answer 2

packagingOptions {
        pickFirst  'META-INF/*'

    }

This is why your run fails. Remove this lines and everything be fine.

Answer 3

Piggy-backing off Steven's answer, which helped me solve it:

Then I saw the jar causing my issues had a MANIFEST.MF but the file was empty. All the other MAINFEST.MF files had one line: Manifest-Version: 1.0.

Some jars are missing the MANIFEST-INF folder and MANIFEST.MF file inside it. You can quickly view the contents of imported .jar files using Android Studio's Project Explorer and the /libs/ folders of your module(s)

Find the jar missing these and go to Finder/Explorer/Terminal to unzip the jar, add the missing manifest, and re-zip the jar.

To View MANIFEST.MF (Android Studio Example)

Pitfall: When you re-zip the file be sure to choose .zip compression and only zip the inner files, not the folder itself (ex some.jar creates ../somejar/, only zip the contents of ../somejar/.., otherwise you may find yourself with java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file.
