Getting the error above when uploading my App Bundle to Google Play. I see several other users have had similar issues but usually caused by duplicate manifest entries, in this case I cannot see any duplicates. I have tried commenting out suspect manifest entries but that only gives me a white Google map every time. Unsure of how to progress this further....

Attributes: 
#Region  Project Attributes

    '..................................
    #MultiDex: True
    #AdditionalJar: com.android.support:support-v4
    #AdditionalJar: com.google.android.gms:play-services-location
    
    #Extends: android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity
    
#End Region

guess you can remove

AddApplicationText(<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />)
Click to expand...
as it is already added by
B4X: 
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.GooglePlayBase)

will add
B4X: 
AddApplicationText(
   <activity android:name="com.google.android.gms.common.api.GoogleApiActivity"
  android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar"
  android:exported="false"/>
    <meta-data
  android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
  android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
)
to your manifest.

a white map sounds more like an invalid api.key

@DonManfred api.key? Normally I would agree with you but the map is working perfectly in both Debug + Release on 2 different devices, so it's not that.

I tried fudging a solution by removing:
Manifest: 
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.GooglePlayBase)

'And replaced it with an edited version of your 2nd example......

AddApplicationText(
   <activity android:name="com.google.android.gms.common.api.GoogleApiActivity"
  android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar"
  android:exported="false"/>

When I uploaded the resulting .aab to the Store it reports no error. Unfortunately in that configuration the Google Map element does not work - White Map. There must be some other element that is giving rise to multiple declarations.

Another day.... and all devices rebooted, app deleted and re-installed. With my original manifest (as the first post) and another re-compile of the app the Google Map functionality has mysteriously returned. Uploading the .aab to the Play store no longer produces the original error about multiple declarations. I have absolutely no idea what was responsible.
