I am trying to add firebase to my app using the firebaseUI. As the documentations says, I have used the corresponding gms:play-services (11.0.4) with the firebaseUI version (2.2.0) When I sync the gradle files, I receive following error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'.
> Manifest merger failed : Attribute meta-data#android.support.VERSION@value value=(26.0.0) from [com.android.support:support-v13:26.0.0] AndroidManifest.xml:28:13-35
    is also present at [com.android.support:customtabs:25.4.0] AndroidManifest.xml:25:13-35 value=(25.4.0).
    Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:value"' to <meta-data> element at AndroidManifest.xml:26:9-28:38 to override.

This is my gradle file:

android {
compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion "26.0.1"
defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.test.test"
    minSdkVersion 21
    targetSdkVersion 25
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])


compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:26.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:26.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:26.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:26.0.0'

//firebase
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.0.4'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.0.4'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.0.4'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.0.4'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:11.0.4'
compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui:2.2.0'

testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

//firebase
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

I've made sure that all the versions are up to date and that they are all the same. Can't figure out what the problem is?

I solved it by adding this in AndroidManifest.xml within the <application> tag at the very bottom:

<meta-data 
  tools:node="replace"
  android:name="android.support.VERSION"
  android:value="26.1.0"  // <- The max version you see in the error message. For me it was 26.1.0
/>

Then add these two attributes to the <manifest ... > tag:

xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:node="replace"

add this line to your manifest

 <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version"
        tools:replace="android:value" />

exactly as shown inside the "application" tag.

This type of error has come up because of different libraries added by you. While adding libraries make sure that all of them are of the same version and work flawlessly with one another.

It occurs when you use different versions of the same library for implementation in the build.gradle of app module. You can solve this by implementing same versions of a library.

If the problem still persists then add the following code at the end of build.gradle(app module)

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
        def requested = details.requested
        if (requested.group == 'com.android.support') {
            if (!requested.name.startsWith("multidex")) {
                details.useVersion '25.3.0'
            }
        }
    }
}
