Check if there is only one `android.manifest` file in your project — Hristo, Jun 06 '17 at 09:48
May be there should be space between "-D file.encoding=" and between "-D com.android.sdkmanager.toolsdir". — maximelian1986, Jun 06 '17 at 10:55
you mean that there is mistakes in sdk paths which i set i unity? please elaborate your answer i don't understand this "-D file.encoding=" and between "-D com.android.sdkmanager.toolsdir" — Geeta Parshotam, Jun 06 '17 at 13:52

The error happens due to this Unity bug (related to the latest Android SDK tools version).

You can see in the error message that the "manifmerger" tool returns an error code (64):

stderr[ Error:Invalid command manifmerger ] stdout[

] exit code: 64

The bug is fixed in the latest Unity (beta) version. There is a workaround, as described on that page:

Workaround for the customers.

just open https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html

scroll down to the bottom of that page

go to downloads

scroll down to the bottom of that page

find Windows "tools_r25.2.3-windows.zip" download and unzip it

or, on mac: find MacOSX "tools_r25.2.3-macosx.zip" download and unzip it.

In the SDK path replace the tools folder.

This is a quote from the issuetracker page. I've added direct links to the downloads, since they seem to be missing from the Android website.

thanks for reply! i already tried this solution but still get same errors , if i download unity beta version so this fix my problems ? – Geeta Parshotam Jun 06 '17 at 15:38
This should fix your issues. I've done this for countless developers as part of my gig: https://www.fiverr.com/lysergide/fix-android-build-issues-in-your-unity3d-project you should not use the beta version (haven't tested it myself, so i am not sure it fixes the issue). – lysergic-acid Jun 06 '17 at 15:40
Thank you so much! you save my time , it works after replace the tools actually before i did something wrong. thanks man for help – Geeta Parshotam Jun 06 '17 at 17:18

You can try to rise up your minimum api level, usually when there is high diffrence between target devices and minimum api level Unity fail to merge android manifests.

I hope this will work your problem :)

thanks for reply! suggest me what minimum API level should i set? – Geeta Parshotam Jun 06 '17 at 13:16
it is not worked for me after i raise minimum API level to 23 still get same errors . – Geeta Parshotam Jun 06 '17 at 13:41
Is your skd ndk and jdk updated? I may cause the problem – Eren Jun 06 '17 at 13:57
i think i get errors because of 2 manifest files in my project because i use OVR plugin one is manifest main and other is manifest only. and i don't install ndk because i read that there is no need. if you say i install ndk also, and yes sdk and jdk is update till now – Geeta Parshotam Jun 06 '17 at 15:28
i use unity 5.6.1f1. is there any issue in this version? – Geeta Parshotam Jun 06 '17 at 15:32
@GeetaParshotam you dont need ndk thats right and i didnt come across any problem on 5.6 using two manifest is the problem i think. – Eren Jun 06 '17 at 15:36
so now how can i resolve this ? any idea – Geeta Parshotam Jun 06 '17 at 16:08
@GeetaParshotam well you can try to delete one of the manifest, it probably wont work but there is still chance if it doesnt work you can delete and instal sdk from begining and reset your unity settings it would solve the problem – Eren Jun 06 '17 at 16:27
thanks. i will try this solution also – Geeta Parshotam Jun 06 '17 at 16:46
@GeetaParshotam ok let me know if it works for you :) – Eren Jun 06 '17 at 16:55
