Getting ManifestMerger2 MergeFailureException on basic project about fat-aar-plugin HOT 3 OPEN

To add this line to the manifest node in your main manifest file does the trick.

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

I will try to fix it someday.

Thanks, that fixed the minimum reproducible example I provided, but we're still seeing the issue with our actual project. I'll have to do some more investigating. Our manifests are basically identical, as are our build.gradle files. Frustrating.

@Diarrhio yes it's frustrating. In the source code of android plugin, the handling of manifest merge part is such complicated.
You can post the full stacktrace of your project, to try the luck.
