Failed to run aapt dump badging: AndroidManifest.xml:3: error:

[Eldon Beix]

Ok So after several months of development I have a completed and debugged working APP.

When I tried to upload the .APK I am getting the following error message.

Failed to run aapt dump badging:
AndroidManifest.xml:3: error: ERROR: missing 'android:name' for uses-permission

I expect there is something I have missed or do not understand, but I'll be if I can see what it is.

Any and all thoughts, suggestions or direction appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

January 1 - Additional Info.

So in researching this issue further I came across the following info in the App Inventor2 Documentation.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You will need to increase the VersionCode and change the VersionName of your application when you upload a new version to the Play Store.
Download .apk
Once you are done making your app, you can download your Android .apk file as follows:
Navigate to the home screen of the app you want to download in App Inventor
Click the dropdown labled “Package for phone”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sounds pretty straight forward except that I do not have a dropdown labeled "Package For Phone" ???

See screen capture below.





Has this changed since this documentation was authored?

Is this somehow related to the original issue I am dealing with??
