Merging error + problem in adding API key to the project

[adi-andro]

I followed this guide still facing problem in adding API key to the project. I have successfully installed the secrects gradle plugin. But when i open this local.properties file it does not allow to make any changes. The contents of the file are not as mentioned in the guide.

Merging error in AndroidManifest.xml

I'm stuck in step 4 of the process mentioned below.

Help please

@adi-andro What is preventing you from editing the local.properties file? That file is meant to be edited/added to and you should be able to add a new key/value definition as described in the documentation.

It shows this error.

That looks fine to me although you removed the sdk.dir=... definition which should still be defined in your local.properties file.

Is this still an issue @adi-andro ?

Closing this as I have not heard back. Feel free to reopen will more info if this is still an issue.
