Entry name 'AndroidManifest.xml' collided (Build failed after updating the android gradle plugin to 3.6.0)

问题

I have recently update the Android studio from 3.5(stable) to 3.6(stable).

Then I saw the plugin update is also available, so I have update the version of "com.android.tools.build:gradle" from 3.5.0 to 3.6.0 and also update the gradle version to 5.6.4

Now problem starts when I try to build the project it fails with message Entry name 'AndroidManifest.xml' collided

回答1:

This is caused by Android Gradle plugin 3.6, revert to using the old packaging tool by including the following in your gradle.properties file will fix this:

android.useNewApkCreator=false

More info please check the release note: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin#zipflinger

I found a workaround by adding this to the app's build.gradle:

android {
    packagingOptions {
        exclude 'AndroidManifest.xml'
    }
}

I had this to fix an issue with creating a bundle, due to Facebook's Audience Network, on Android Studio 3.5.

I get a similar error: Entry name 'resources.arsc' collided. Workaround as @Marco Batista said:

android {
    packagingOptions {
        exclude 'resources.arsc'
    }
}

I had the same issue with AndroidManifest.xml files colliding. First, I tried the useNewApkCreator workaround and it worked on the app variant I was working on. But when I switched to another variant, build was still successful but the app refused to install from Android Studio. Also installing the .apk manually gave parsing error on the device.

Finally, I analyzed the .apks from both variants and noticed that the broken .apk had the wrong AndroidManifest.xml in it. Excluding the manifest in packagingOptions worked though.
