Android build AndroidManifest.xml error

Question

Try to build ionic project in android studio on Mac, error came up as follow, anyone can give some clue.

Element uses-feature#android.hardware.camera at AndroidManifest.xml:32:5-84 duplicated with element declared at AndroidManifest.xml:27:5-60

Removed the duplicate entry still not working.

AndroidManifest.xml File.

    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<manifest android:hardwareAccelerated="true" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="0.0.1" package="io.ionic.starter" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FLASHLIGHT" />
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="true" />
</manifest>

Removed the entry :

New error:

Merging Errors: Error: Attribute meta-data#android.support.VERSION@value value=(26.0.0-alpha1) from AndroidManifest.xml:27:9-38 is also present at AndroidManifest.xml:24:9-31 value=(25.3.1). Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:value"' to <meta-data> element at AndroidManifest.xml:25:5-27:41 to override. android main manifest (this file), line 26

Removed the duplicated entry, error still there, but different one.

You have a duplicate <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" /> in your end of your xml file.

Remove any one permission of camera from Menifest file.

You have <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" /> and <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="true" /> . Remove the one not required.
