No resource identifier found for attribute 'appComponentFactory' in package 'android'

Question

I used google material design as this https://material.io/develop/android/docs/getting-started/ But when sync project I had following error

No resource identifier found for attribute 'appComponentFactory' in package 'android' Message{kind=ERROR, text=No resource identifier found for attribute 'appComponentFactory' in package 'android', sources=[\?\E:\Projects\xoxo-android\app\build\intermediates\manifests\full\debug\AndroidManifest.xml:17], original message=, tool name=Optional.of(AAPT)}

This is my build.gradle file

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    buildToolsVersion "26.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.official2.xoxo"

        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}


dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {

How fix this error?

Answer 1

Try this code:

cordova plugin add cordova-android-support-gradle-release --variable ANDROID_SUPPORT_VERSION=27.+

Answer 2

I had the same error. In my case it was caused by dependencies specified with a + (i.e. "com.android.support:support-v4:27+") making it use Android P dependencies whilst using API level 27.

Replacing them with a specific version (e.g. "com.android.support:support-v4:27.1.1") solved the error

Answer 3

A small fix to Armysir's answer. I used this steps:

1.Add these lines to your app/build.gradle:

configurations.all {
  resolutionStrategy.force 'com.android.support:support-v4:26.1.0'
}

2.In AndroidManifest.xml file add one line to application-tag:

tools:remove="android:appComponentFactory"

Answer 4

Reason of fail

com.google.android.material:material is part of androidx, and you can not use both support libraries and androidx in same project. Android will not update support libraries after version 28.0.0.

See @Android support 28.0.0 release notes.

This will be the last feature release under the android.support packaging, and developers are encouraged to migrate to AndroidX 1.0.0

Solution

For me solution was to migrate my app to androidx. I posted an answer for understanding and migrating androidx package. Official migrate documentation is also very well written.

Or

You can just put these lines to gradle.properties file.

android.useAndroidX = true
android.enableJetifier = true

Answer 5

I faced with the same error.It take 2 day :(

Go to File ==>Settings==>Build,Execution,Deployment ==>Gradle ==>Remove mark of Offline work

I hope it helps you

Answer 6

I had this error on react-native project and adding google play version code to gradle.properties worked.

googlePlayServicesVersion=12.0.1

Answer 7

Tried @Hudson answer but didn't work. Then found the issue that is because of FCM plugin, so I removed the plugin & added back with updated one then build again.

cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-fcm

cordova plugin add https://github.com/andrehtissot/cordova-plugin-fcm-with-dependecy-updated
