Знаете кого-нибудь, кто может ответить? ошибка сбора в AndroidManifest.xml

AAPT: ошибка: атрибут android: requestLegacyExternalStorage не найден.

For ionic developers please refer to this answer to fix this issue: https://stackoverflow.com/a/65595715/10533962

Solution 1 - Android

(Material Files author here)

You need to compile against SDK 29 and maybe use the most recent build tools for aapt to know this attribute, because it's introduced in Android 10.

Solution 2 - Android

Make these changes in android\app\build.gradle :

compileSdkVersion 29

targetSdkVersion 29

It will work.

Solution 3 - Android

Add this to build.gradle

subprojects {
    afterEvaluate {project ->
        if (project.hasProperty("android")) {
            android {
                compileSdkVersion 29
                buildToolsVersion "29.0.2"
            }
        }
    }
}

Solution 4 - Android

For ionic developers, make sure to update the cordova to the latest version: npm i cordova and then add the android platform: ionic cordova platform add [email protected]

Also make sure to add these into the config.mxl:

<preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="22" />
<preference name="android-compileSdkVersion" value="29" />
<preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="29" />

NOTICE:

SDK v22 means that android versions less than 5.1 will not be able to install the app, knowing that companies usually specify the minimum SDK version as 19 to support al devices.

We cannot requestLegacyExternalStorage on SDKs prior to v22.

In order to overcome this issue, we have to add this permission at run time on devices running android 10+.

Use this plugin to get the current device's SDK version: https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/device

If the SDK version is 10 or above, use this plugin to request the permission: https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/android-permissions

Solution 5 - Android

Just delete line android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true". You can use under Api 29.

Solution 6 - Android

Might sound silly but, but you need to apply the compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion for all projects you have (e.g. dependencies you compile):

android {
    compileSdkVersion 29
    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 29
        ...
}

Solution 7 - Android

If you are trying to delete android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true", or changing the values of android:minSdkVersion="xx" and android:targetSdkVersion="xx" but AndroidManifest.xml after a build is restored... you should try compile with an argument. In my case (Angular 8),

tns build android --compileSdk <AndroidVersion> --force

Solution 8 - Android

For building a Nativescript 7 project my solution was:

  1. Install 28, 29 & 30 API in Android SDK Manager in Android Studio
  2. Modify the app.gradle file in <project>/App_Resources/Android like this: app.gradle file
  3. Run command: ns clean
  4. Run command: ns debug android

Solution 9 - Android

This was the only way to fix it for me

android {
    compileSdkVersion 30

Solution 10 - Android

For me the fix was:

npm i cordova
