The manifest file is

'End of default text.

Can anyone help?

Have a look at the AndroidManifest XML file in your projects \Objects directory & see if anything looks amiss in it. That's the manifest that is being installed with the app.

Manifest code looks correct. Which device are you using? As Colin please upload the AndroidManifest.xml file.

Hi, Guys - thanks for the quick response.

1. Had a look at the AndroidManifest.xml file - it appears OK but I really don't know what I should be looking for - I have uploaded the file as requested.

2. The issue occurred with an Android 6 phone, after reading a post with similar problems, I tried it on an Android 9 phone and that worked (the manifest file is from that successful compile operation).

In the interim, I will retry with the Android 6 phone just and compare manifest files).

Kind regards
Dave

Hi, Sorry forgot to upload the file.

Hi, Again

After the success with Android 9 phone, I retried with the Android 6 again and still reports the problem (also compared the AndroidManifest.xml files between the Android 6 and 9 phones compilations and they are identical).

(also compared the AndroidManifest.xml files between the Android 6 and 9 phones compilations and they are identical)

The compilation process has nothing to do with the connected device. The output will always be exactly the same.

Have you tried to restart the Android 6 device?

Hi Erel Reseting the phone appeared to fix the problem

Thanks for your help.
