Could not find AndroidManifest.xml file using generation folder

Android build fails with this error message:

While this looks like a duplicate to #2028 (similar issue with lates 3.0.0-alpha and kotlin build) I wonder why you find your manifest in ../app/build/intermediates/manifests/full/some_product_flavor/debug/AndroidManifest.xml but no flavor config in your build.gralde?

I think that's because of the APK split settings in gradle?

splits{
        abi {
            enable true
            reset()
            include 'armeabi', 'armeabi-v7a', 'arm64-v8a', 'mips', 'x86', 'x86_64'
            universalApk false
        }
    }

the manifest is found in locations like .../app/build/intermediates/manifests/full/x86_64/debug/AndroidManifest.xml

Maybe. If your some_product_flavor is not exactly some_product_flavor but eg. armeabi

Exactly! It is actually not product_flavor, it's the architecture types e.g armeabi

@iamMehedi

@iamMehedi to be clear, you do not have any product flavors at all, correct?

@WonderCsabo

Interesting. Could you try the 4.4.0-SNAPSHOT of Android Annotations?

@WonderCsabo maybe we need to update #2030 to also search for the manifest when used with apt and not only kapt.

BTW, i cannot reproduce your issue. I just added this block to the Gradle example project:

splits{
    abi {
        enable true
        reset()
        include 'armeabi', 'armeabi-v7a', 'arm64-v8a', 'mips', 'x86', 'x86_64'
        universalApk false
    }
}

Execution of assembleDebug works fine. (There is a manifest generated at intermediates/manifests/full/debug as expected).

But if i add a flavor, it breaks, because the manifest is located at intermediates/manifests/full/flavor1/{split}/debug .

@WonderCsabo

@WonderCsabo yes, I don't have any product flavors at all. No universal apk is generated only the split ones and their version code is updated as follows:

// Map for the version code that gives each ABI a value.
ext.abiCodes = ['armeabi':1, 'armeabi-v7a':2, 'arm64-v8a':3, 'mips':4, 'x86':5, 'x86_64':6]

// For per-density APKs, create a similar map like this:
// ext.densityCodes = ['mdpi': 1, 'hdpi': 2, 'xhdpi': 3]

import com.android.build.OutputFile

// For each APK output variant, override versionCode with a combination of
// ext.abiCodes * 1000 + variant.versionCode. In this example, variant.versionCode
// is equal to defaultConfig.versionCode. If you configure product flavors that
// define their own versionCode, variant.versionCode uses that value instead.
android.applicationVariants.all { variant ->

    // Assigns a different version code for each output APK
    // other than the universal APK.
    variant.outputs.each { output ->

        // Stores the value of ext.abiCodes that is associated with the ABI for this variant.
        def baseAbiVersionCode =
                // Determines the ABI for this variant and returns the mapped value.
                project.ext.abiCodes.get(output.getFilter(OutputFile.ABI))

        // Because abiCodes.get() returns null for ABIs that are not mapped by ext.abiCodes,
        // the following code does not override the version code for universal APKs.
        // However, because we want universal APKs to have the lowest version code,
        // this outcome is desirable.
        if (baseAbiVersionCode != null) {

            // Assigns the new version code to versionCodeOverride, which changes the version code
            // for only the output APK, not for the variant itself. Skipping this step simply
            // causes Gradle to use the value of variant.versionCode for the APK.
            output.versionCodeOverride =
                    baseAbiVersionCode * 100000 + variant.versionCode
        }
    }
}

@WonderCsabo

@WonderCsabo I was able to reproduce this error with the gradle example after updating the compileSdkVersion to 26 and buildToolsVersion to 26.0.1

@dodgex the example project uses 4.4.0-SNAPSHOT, so the issue exists on that version too.

@iamMehedi

@iamMehedi i see, in that case, the debug folder undef full no longer present.

@dodgex yes we should enhance the manifest finder to work with splits as well.

Looks like a change in the 26.x.y tools.

I'll see if i can get a hand on it in the next days.

@dodgex

@dodgex (if you are using flavors, it does not work even you are using 25.x.y tools.)

So without flavor the case of this issue works with 25.x.y but with flavor + split it does not work with 25?

I wonder if we need to keep support for 25.x or if it is ok to build a solution that aims at buildtools 26 users.

Thank you guys! Our app currently does not have specific AndroidManifest.xml file per architecture, random file would fix the current problem.

This issue resurfaces in the latest Android Studio build.

Having to go down this path for Material Design artifacts that I need. Jumped off the cliff of 'JetPack' and it appears my JetPack isn't starting... sigh

@dodgex

I also get this error now when I upgraded to use the new gradle version 4.6 and build tools 3.2.0
When I change back to gradle 4.4 and build tools 3.1.4 the problem is gone! @dodgex

I have multiple flavors and this kapt configuration:

kapt {
    arguments {
        arg("resourcePackageName", android.defaultConfig.applicationId)
    }
}

The Android Gradle Plugin version 3.2.0 changed the manifest location again. We already fix that, you should try the SNAPSHOT release.

@WonderCsabo

@WonderCsabo is there any plan to release 4.5 version? Thank you.

I had the same problem today and after reading the documentation I found that you can set the default manifest path. I solved it by adding into buld.gradle(Module:app) into defaultConfig{..}

javaCompileOptions { annotationProcessorOptions { arguments = ["androidManifestFile": "D:\\Projects\\Android-Project\\app\\src\\main\\AndroidManifest.xml"] //add your path to AndroidManifest.xml } }

Thanks @willPasco

@mihaiAdascalitei
Thanks for your solution. That works for me.

@luisfernandezbr

@luisfernandezbr which parent tag does the javaCompileOptions go into?

Found it:

android {
   …
   defaultConfig {
      …
      javaCompileOptions {
         annotationProcessorOptions {
            arguments = [
                "androidManifestFile": "$projectDir/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml".toString()
            ]
         } // annotationProcessorOptions
      } // javaCompileOptions
   } // defaultConfig
   …
} // android

@krischik

@krischik if you are using AndroidStudio 3.5 and getting manifest not found, test the 4.7.0-SNAPSHOT of AA. it contains an updated version of the AndroidManifestFinder that works with AS3.5

@krischik

@krischik the way of doing it was already described in my response above :) #2034 (comment)

@krischik

@krischik the way of doing it was already described in my response

No it wasn't. Your response was incomplete. It was missing:

android {
   …
   defaultConfig {

You response was a typical power user response. Missing important context informations because you thought “everybody” would know the correct place to put the code snippet.

@krischik

@krischik the only problem is that you don't understand how to properly read a response nor appreciate the fact that is offered to you. It's clearly explained where to put it " I solved it by adding into buld.gradle(Module:app) into defaultConfig{..}". More of it, it's nice that everybody else managed to understand it :).
