Android App Bundle build error: reserved file

A much simpler fix until Facebook fixes the SDK would be to add this to the packagingOptions in the android { } block of your app's build.gradle:

android {
   packagingOptions {
      exclude 'AndroidManifest.xml' //This fixes a bug in FAN 5.0.1
   }
}

I can only confirm this works when building an App Bundle, I do not know about a regular APK.


In my case, my error was caused by

com.facebook.android:audience-network-sdk

I only downgrade audience-network-sdk from 5.0.0 to 4.99.3 and everything starting to work fine. I hope this help you.

Updated: As Sebastian said, now you can update audience-network-sdk from 5.0.0 to 5.1.0.
