Manifest merger failed with multiple errors while

Question

I tried updating my gradle with API 26 (Android Studio 2.3.3). But I am getting the following error while compiling the project.

Here is the screenshot of the error I am getting:

Application level build.gradle:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'
        classpath "io.realm:realm-gradle-plugin:3.5.0"
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
        maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

This is my Merged Manifest:

If I remove tools:replace="android:value" from the application tag. I am getting below error.

This is my build.gradle file:

</manifest>

I have also added the new url in my application level gradle which google has recently introduced.

What is the problem in my Manifest.xml. I never got such error before updating to API 26. What can be the possible solution for this?

Answer 1

Add below line in your manifest file's application tag

tools:replace="android:value"

Answer 2

If you concentrate a little bit you can find the solution, It said that the READ_PHONE_STATE is duplicated delete one of them and it said to add tools:replace="android:value" to you application tag at the manifest. Then clean and rebuild your project
