Question

I\'ve updated Android Studio last night to 0.9.0, buildToolsVersion to 21.1.0 and gradle to 0.14.0, after that I\'m receiving this error

Error:Executi

Answer 1

I ran into this after upgrading to Android Studio 1.0.0 rc4. I had previously been using so that I could make projects with lower min SDK versions than some of the libraries they depended on. Turns out, if you remove tools:replace and let the compiler error out again with the manifest merge conflict, it will provide you with a much better solution:

At least, the Google Play Services library was what I was running into. Actually, you can list a whole bunch if you need to. Just comma-separate the package names. You may have to run the compiler a few times until it tells you every library that's causing problems.
