Why am I getting an Android Build Error due to issues with Manifest Merger?

[sawe...@gmail.com]

IDE: IDEA
OS: Mac High Sierra
Issue: Sending android build, works fine on simulator.

When I attempt to send an android build for my project that runs perfectly in the simulator, I receive this exception in the log (I am using a basic storage plan so size should not be the issue), would love any insight as I am not very experienced with these kinds of errors: 

 Exception is:

If the CN1 build cloud service is not broken, you probably have a wrong android setting in your codename_settings.properties file. You should post the log file provided by the cloud server to track it down
