An Error: Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'

Question

It was working few days ago. I did not update anything. Removed node_modules folder - same thing.

What might went wrong? Please point to it.

already tried to add to AndroidManifest.xml:

- tools:node="replace"
or
- tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"
  android:appComponentFactory="whatever"

Nothing helped.

build.gradle file

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

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3"
        minSdkVersion = 19
        compileSdkVersion = 28
        targetSdkVersion = 28
        supportLibVersion = "28.0.0"
        googlePlayServicesAuthVersion = "15.0.1"
    }
    ...
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.2'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

Here is an error from console

> Task :app:processDebugManifest FAILED

Upgrade the react-native-device-info will also work yarn upgrade react-native-device-info@2.1.2

Try including the libraries forcefully. To do that copy these lines in the following location: android->app->build.gradel. The lines are as follows:

configurations.all { 
  resolutionStrategy { 
    force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:16.1.0' 
    force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:16.1.0' 
    force 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.9' 
    force 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:18.0.0' 
  }
}

This is just a temprory fix.
