I'm getting this error when I try to update my application. Can you help me with how to resolve it?

This line appears twice:
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.GooglePlayBase)

 

[Sandman]

This line appears twice:
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.GooglePlayBase)

Is there ever a reason for a line to appear twice in the manifest?

(Let's assume that multiline macros like CreateResource etc are optimized to be a single line before answering that question.)

 

[Erel]

Probably not and I know what you are thinking.
I don't think that I will change its behavior to track duplicate calls. It is really a rare programming bug.

 

[Sandman]

Probably not and I know what you are thinking.

Hey now, am I that obvious? But yeah, that's what I was thinking. It kind of feels like you know me.

I don't think that I will change its behavior to track duplicate calls. It is really a rare programming bug.

Yeah, I can understand that, makes sense. It's a bad payback on that development investment.

Just a small note that this (as far as I can tell) could be outsourced to a build action that would stop compilation if there was a double entry. Meaning it could be made by a forum member, if one were so inclined.

Thanks Erel
