Build error in Android

[balajivenkatesh]

"Manifest merger failed with multiple errors"

The error I see is -

Attribute application@label value=(label) from AndroidManifest.xml
is also present at [App:react-native-fetch-blob:unspecified] AndroidManifest.xml:11:18-50 value=(@string/app_name).
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:label"' to element at AndroidManifest.xml to override.

Making the suggested change and adding
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" to top level manifest tag as in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28095703/manifest-merger-failed-error fixes it.

But is there a way to avoid this?

I'm having the same error.

react-native-fetch-blob@0.10.8

I'm not familiar enough with Android builds to know if the fix suggested above might have other consequences in my project.

You can solve this by adding these to AndroidManifest.xml:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
+         xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
          package="my.app">

        <application
            android:name=".MainApplication"
            android:allowBackup="false"
+           tools:node="replace"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
            android:usesCleartextTraffic="${isDebug}">
