Faild to find AndroidManifest.xml

[georgenacouzi]

cordova version 8.0.0 android platform 7.0.1

when running cordova plugin add cordova-support-google-services i get the below error

Failed to install 'cordova-support-google-services': Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'path-to-my-project\platforms\android\AndroidManifest.xml'

where the path of androidManifest.xml is platforms/android/app/src/main

i am trying to install cordova-plugin-firebase-analytics that needs this plugin im stuck in a situation where i cannot install this plugin if the android version is >= 7 and i cannot install cordova-plugin-firebase-analytics if the android version is less than 7

and this plugin is needed by the cordova-plugin-firebase-analytics plugin

thank you

You don’t need to run ‘cordova plugin add cordova-support-google-services’. Just add the analytics plugin, and this one will be installed automatically as a dependent plugin.

hello @chemerisuk thank you for your reply, this is an old phonegap project, i did the following: • removed the old cordova-plugin-firebase-analytics • removed this plugin • removed the old cordova-support-android-plugin • removed the old android platform 6.3.0 • installed android 7.x.x • reinstalled cordova-plugin-firebase-analytics then had the error Failed to install 'cordova-support-android-plugin': Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'path-to-project\platforms\android\AndroidManifest.xml

this error appeared before reaching the installation of this plugin i don't know if the issue should be moved from here but i believe the same error will appear when the installation reaches this plugin

please note that i only executed cordova platform add cordova-plugin-firebase-analytics

thanks for the help

Try to create a fresh project

cordova create <PATH> [ID [NAME [CONFIG]]] [options]

and add cordova-plugin-firebase-analytics there. Do you have the issue?

Issue exists with phonegap-plugin-push too. It depends on this plugin, but when installing this plugin, I run into the same error:

I'm using cordova-android@7.1.0, cordova@8.0.0, phonegap-plugin-push@2.2.3, cordova-support-google-services@1.2.0.

The position of the Android Manifest file was changed after cordova-android@7.0.0: https://cordova.apache.org/announcements/2017/12/04/cordova-android-7.0.0.html.
