Android Material and appcompat Manifest merger failed in react-native or ExpoKit

Question

I updated \'android.support:appcompat-v7\' to 28.0.0.

But it brought an error from the build.

Attribute application@appComponentFactory          


        

Answer 1

According to @Frank's answer the library used services-gcm:+ as a dependency, and the latest gcm version caused this problem.

And I had used :react-native-admob in my project. So I just change the following lines in android/app/build.gradle

From:

implementation project(':react-native-admob')

TO :

implementation(project(":react-native-admob"),  {
        exclude group: "com.google.android.gms"
})
implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:16.0.0"
