It is important to comment that the file AndroidManifest.xml that you must edit in your project must be found within the path src\main\AndroidManifest.xml .

If you choose to visualize your project as " Android ", here is your AndroidManifest.xml

If you choose to visualize your project as " Project ", here is your AndroidManifest.xml

The problem, according to this answer from OS in English , is that AAPT2 is stricter when evaluating the file Manifest .

I have tried to order your file, following the structure indicated by Android , since for example, there were some meta tags that were not inside their corresponding element.

Anyway, review it, lest I have put some meta tag inside another element ... what I have done has been to put them inside the previous element ... assuming they belonged to him, but they were out.
