Try deleting your AndroidManifest file and letting Unity generate one at build time.

 

I had the same issue and changing the manifest under assets->plugins->android solved it for me.

<uses-sdkandroid:minSdkVersion="19"android:targetSdkVersion="24"/>

 

Thanks this worked for me. I had to manually bump targetSdkVersion in both AndroidManifest.xml and AndroidManifest-Cardboard.xml from 22 to 24. (Unity 5.5.0f3). Looks like same worked for mitt88 too

 

Thank you all, it worked like a charm.

 

if I set the target sdk to nougat I get :Error building Player: FormatException: Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list.

 

This worked for me. Changing in .xml not working.

Change target in Player Setting to " Nougat " and build 1 times > Then change back to target what do you want then build.

 

just update your target sdk to 24 it will solve your problem

target sdk mean android sdk you have installed

 

just update you SDK new update

 

Well i have the same issue and the solutions here do not seem to solve my problem, am i missing something?


Edit: I cannot seem to attach imgur to the post so here is the editor error with player settings: https://imgur.com/lHCw1kT

Edit 2 : Never mind , i updated to SDK 25 and seems to have solved this issue at the expense of generating another one "Unable to re-package resources".

 

guys please i need some help here, i tried everything but i still have these errors

I've got the same problem as ybahassine (I'm also trying to implement Google Admob ads and having exactly the same errors). I'm not sure how I can remove one of the manifests, as it is creating them during the Build process.

 

Can you file a support ticket with AdMob?
