what is this package com.company.myApp2? – Theophylline

change this line <uses-permission android:name="com.company.myApp2.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" /> to <uses-permission android:name="com.company.myApp.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" /> – Theophylline

@DivyeshPatel did this but still the same error – Ol

You may refer with this post.

Remove

<uses-permission android:name="${applicationId}.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"/>
<permission
    android:name="${applicationId}.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
    android:protectionLevel="signature"/>

Run App then add the permisson again and Run App.

This problem often occurs when you try to install debug and release version of your app on the same device.
