I created a new folder structure

./app/App_Resources/Android/src/main/res/values and added the xml file there with the api key.

In the above, I had the create the src/main/res/values folder - wasn't there before.

I also added the meta entry to AndroidManifest.xml file.

The demo program seems to store the xml file in Android/src/main/assets folder - not sure which is correct.

Also getting this error message

No manifest found in /Users/asrock/Documents/test/app/App_Resources/Android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

I have the same errors, did you find a solution?

[erjdriver]

No...but I did find out that NS 4 or 4.1 and above - the folder structure below Android is different.

so I have app/App_Resources/Android/src/main/res and have all the drawables etc there.

in Android/src/main have AndroidManifest.xml

[CapellaBlue]

Misread: this is not how mine is structured. Maybe I should open a different ticket? Are you still getting the error? When I followed the install for NativeScript > 4, the cp command created the Android/src/.... file. I moved my AndroidManifest.xml in there. It didn't change the error. -- i just dont see the "couldnt find manifest" error pop up before the "FAILURE"

I thought I could use some react answers to help, and found people adding this to their build.gradle. SO i added it to my Android/app.gradle. No dice.

maven {
  url "https://maven.google.com"
}

[CapellaBlue]

^mine. I have NS 4+. hm.

[erjdriver]

I think you need to move all your drawables under res also.

Basically only 2 items under src/main should be AndroidManifest.xml and res folder.

The url it's looking for

https://jcenter.bintray.com/android/arch/core/common/1.0.0/common-1.0.0.jar

Seems to be unavailable when I check using a browser.

So maybe they're doing some maintenance or something.

[erjdriver]

The folder /1.0.0 contains a .pom file instead of a .jar file.

Folder /1.1.1 does contain a common-1.1.1.jar file.

I believe a .pom file is a maven makefile...

Hopefully someone in the know will chime in...I'm stumped.

[CapellaBlue]

me, too. did you try changing the .pom to .jar?

I tried adding the maven to platform/Android/build.gradle, too-- and I read on SO that doing this updates the play-services versions-- so I tried manually updating those from 11.2.0 to 11.3.0:
project.ext {
googlePlayServicesVersion = "11.3.0"
}

no dice

[erjdriver]

I believe google-play-services version numbers are a single number - right now 49 is the latest.

I've got 46 installed because 49 has other dependencies.

[CapellaBlue]

no, it's three. It actually appears they just released 15.0.0

https://developers.google.com/android/guides/releases

[CapellaBlue]

When I go here: https://jcenter.bintray.com/ ... looking for https://jcenter.bintray.com/android/arch/core/common/1.0.0/common-1.0.0.jar... I come up empty handed.

Where can we change the url listed above? I think if we find WHERE the common.jar file is...and change the code that points the plugin to the wrong url listed above...we'll be set.

or not. Oh, debugging, how I love you.

[erjdriver]

In the sdk manager - it says version 46.

Do you know what that equates to in the other version system.

Are you using version 49??

I doubt that'll fix it - but I'll try it.

[CapellaBlue]

I just reverted my tns version to 3.4.2....and it works for me now.

[erjdriver]

This plugin doesn't seem to be compatible with android@4.1.* - works with android@4.0.*

Of course 4.1.2 critical bug in web view.

I guess back to 3.4.3.

One step forward - two steps back.

For what it's worth, I'm seeing the same error. I've tried updating all the items in the SDK manager, but no luck.
