Post the whole error which contains the reason for the merge error. What you have now is simply a tiny part of the error. Also explain which plugins you are using. – Speedway

I added more details. – Zerla

Find "AndroidManifest.xml" provided by facebook or the plugins you are using located in your project then modify them like mentioned here – Speedway

Thanks! answer the question to choose as correct – Zerla

I changed the title to the error message reason so that it can be found by other people having the-same problem. – Speedway

Answer 1

Problem is usually caused by a plugin. Find AndroidManifest.xml from the plugin in your project, open it and then add xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" under <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android".

Save it and rebuilt again. This should solve the problem. You can see what it should like from this post.
