Manifest merger can't find packageName placeholder

[Mehmet Arikan]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use the placeholder feature introduced in the new manifest merger. However, manifest merger complains about the placeholder when i try to build for release buildType. It builds normally if I build for debug. 

I'm using gradle plugin 0.10.+, wrapper version is 1.11 and I disabled old manifest merger in gradle script. In my Manifest placeholders are used as follows

    <permission android:name="${packageName}.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"/>

   <uses-permission android:name="${packageName}.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"/>

and when I try to build with ./gradlew assembleRelease I get the following error:

    :%MODULE_NAME%:processReleaseManifest

    %PROJECT_PATH%/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:37:17 Error:

    Attribute permission#${packageName}.permission.C2D_MESSAGE@name at AndroidManifest.xml:37:17 requires a placeholder substitution but no value for <packageName> is provided.

    %PROJECT_PATH%/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:38:22 Error:

    Attribute uses-permission#${packageName}.permission.C2D_MESSAGE@name at AndroidManifest.xml:38:22 requires a placeholder substitution but no value for <packageName> is provided.

    :%MODULE_NAME%:processReleaseManifest FAILED

and this is the stacktrace for the exception:

Same for me, except for assembleDebug fails too. 

Works for application projects only with deprecated 

    defaultConfig {
        packageName = "com.mycompany.myapp"
    }

in build.gradle. 

But with library projects it works fine.

[Jerome Dochez]

Have you tried using applicationId in your build.gradle :

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId = "com.mycompany.myapp"
    }

does it change anything ?

I tried to reproduce it on my end with no luck, if possible, consider sharing a small project showing the issue.

thanks, jerome

applicationId = "com.mycompany.myapp"

 

helps, but the main idea of the ${packageName} placeholder, as I see it, is that it should know the package without any additional parameters in build.gradle.

Here's the sample project, where the issue can be reproduced. 

./gradlew clean assembleDebug -i

gives

:app:processDebugManifest

The project is actually attached to my June 21 message.

Thanks for the repro case, it helped a lot.
I have a fix, will be part of the next release train :
