Manifest merger failed with multiple errors

Question

When I try to rebuild project, android studio gives the error:

Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'

Manifest merger failed with multiple errors, see logs

I tried all solutions provided for similar problems like this one: Android Gradle Manifest merger failed

Following is app level build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {


    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"

    defaultConfig {
    applicationId "io.tnine.myapplication"
    minSdkVersion 18
    targetSdkVersion 22
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}
}

dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.1+'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.1'
}

Manifest:

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

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />

<uses-feature
    android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
    android:required="true" />

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

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


    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
        android:value="@string/google_maps_key" />


    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
        android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version"
        />

    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
        android:value="~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"/>

    <activity android:name=".fragment_console"></activity>
 </application>

</manifest>

What changes should I make?

edit: project level build.gradle:

buildscript {
repositories {
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'

    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}

allprojects {
repositories {
    jcenter()
 }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
 delete rootProject.buildDir
}

I don't see an obvious error, but just for debugging purposes I'd try switching to `minSdkVersion 23 targetSdkVersion 23` from ` minSdkVersion 18 targetSdkVersion 22` to see if that has any impact. — mawalker, Dec 20 '15 at 08:53
This issue occurs when issue in the manifest file tags. Please check the answer http://stackoverflow.com/a/39509659/2732632 — Kimmi Dhingra, Sep 15 '16 at 11:16

The problem was solved by removing this tag:

 <meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
    android:value="@string/google_maps_key" />

because I had specified the API key in another tag below. It was not a problem of build.gradle

I had this error, solved it by checking the minSdk of all the libraries I had imported to make sure it was the same as my minSdk and sure enough one of them was higher than mine, changed my minSdk. Hope this helps with others – Manny265 Jan 02 '17 at 01:01

Check all Resource files in values [color,string,dimen,style,etc], check is there any undesirable attribute name is present which should not be present in that file. Do Correction in attribute name. clean the project.
