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)}

How fix this error?

The error is in the merged manifest, so it's probably one of your dependencies referencing that resource. Post the contents of the file E:\Projects\xoxo-android\app\build\intermediates\manifests\full\debug\AndroidManifest.xml so we can have a look what the problem is. — Izabela Orlowska, May 10 '18 at 15:33
Thanks for advice. I was developed this app using default design methods. Anyway when above error occurred, this manifest file had value as 'appComponentFactory'. I opened this manifest file using notepad and removed this 'appComponentFactory' line and saved it. Then i build my app, this error was generated again. And above line had in manifest file again. So I haven't build my code when removing that line. — Chamindu, May 14 '18 at 09:00
That file is automatically generated by the gradle plugin, it is a merge of your AndroidManifest and your dependencies' AndroidManifests. That's why when you edit it, it will still get modified and the line will be back there. That line must be coming from one of your dependencies - post the contents so we can figure out which one it is. — Izabela Orlowska, May 14 '18 at 10:15
Researching that string it also looks like it's a new ApplicationInfo field, starting with P. Make sure your target API is P (you need to use Android P Developer Preview). — Izabela Orlowska, May 14 '18 at 10:18

Try this code:

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

What is the purpose of this ANDROID_SUPPORT_VERSION? – Francisco Souza Jan 23 '19 at 13:41
@devnosaur It will install dependencies of group 'com.android.support' with version provided by ANDROID_SUPPORT_VERSION. Ex. It will install dependency 'com.android.support:support-v4' with version 27.+. – Alfaz Jikani Aug 16 '19 at 08:27
I had to do this *and* remove the Android platform and re-add it. – Chris Rae Oct 01 '19 at 20:17

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

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"

I think its better to explain the exact location to add the ```configuration.all``` code block. Its supposed to be inside the ```allprojects{ repositories{ .... here }}``` – Mutinda Boniface Jan 27 '19 at 09:58

Also, add the xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" in tag in AndroidManifest.xml. – Shyam Jun 22 '19 at 16:57

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

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
