Answer 2

It usually happens when there is mistakenly if you have entered any special character or alphabets or numbers in AndroidManifest.xml file

Here meaning [row,col]:[65,9] error in line number between 64 to 66

In my case it happenen because as I shown in below screen shot

Here meaning [row,col]:[65,9] error in line number between 64 to 66 Hope it helps

Answer 3

when say [27:15] that means you have an error in that position . go to the 27th line and if you have any wrong character correct it or maybe forget the /> or any little mistake in your manifest.xml

NOTE: some times the Merged Manifest can help you.

Answer 4

You're using the wrong comment syntax.

Please remove the # comment from the Manifest file and replace it with <!-- Comment -->.

Answer 5

Simple answer see any thing by mistakenly added unwanted code in the manifest.xml file.

if manifest.xml file is not visible in the android studio project
Goto project folder choose the manifest.xml file and cross check unwanted or commented code.

Answer 6

I got this error after updating the Gradle version, Manifest file was the same though. However reformatting the code in Manifest fixed it.
