TL;DR

Hi all I am developing App on Unity3D for Android. However when I want to build the Android project. Errors showed Manifest files conflict. I have searched for a while and most of these conflicts are version conflict. Which I think I have solved it by manually changing minSDKVersion & targetSDKVersion in all the Manifest files. However, I cannot solve this (3 errors in total),

(1) Error: [Temp/StagingArea/AndroidManifest-main.xml:36, /Temp/StagingArea/android-libraries/facebook-android-sdk-4.14.0/AndroidManifest.xml:6] Trying to merge incompatible /manifest/application/activity[@name=com.facebook.FacebookActivity] element:

(2) CommandInvokationFailure: Unable to merge android manifests.

(Sorry if it's bad formatting but "<>" has to be marked as code instead of quote) It seems like the activities problem, which I found this. Since I have never touched with Android project before thus I have no idea what this "activity" is about. Can anyone point out what is the problem here?

The manifests cannot be merged because you have duplicate declarations of the Facebook activity.

Most likely you accidentally have more than one copy of the Facebook AndroidManifest in your project.

You should not need to edit the manifests themselves, they should work out of the box.

Just look through your project and delete any duplicates you find.

Worst case, delete anything Facebook from your project and reimport the plugin.

For a little background info, think of Activities like scenes in unity. In a manifest you have to declare all your activities. When merging, if 2 activities of the same name are found, it doesn't know what to do and throws that error.

  • Okay I may look through and try that, big thanks in advance! @turnipinindia – milanow Oct 18 '16 at 23:10
  • Indeed, I imported both FB SDK and a plugin containing FB SDK. I believe this is the problem. So technically can I simply delete one FB declaration in one of these two Manifest files? – milanow Oct 18 '16 at 23:15
  • Hi thanks! I manually delete one "Facebook activity" and it succeed! – milanow Oct 18 '16 at 23:30
