What is the AndroidManifest.xml file?

Hi, I’m in the “pre-upload to the Android Market” stage and I was doing a bit of research beforehand to see what the requirements were. In the article below, it refers to a “manifest file” that I assume is needed before I can upload.

My question is: What is this file, whereabouts do I get it, and is it necessary?

Thanks.

Long story short, Corona SDK handles the creation of the android manifest file. If you want more control over the settings in that, you need to decompile the APK using a program like APK manager.

APK Manager 5.0.1 here

You basically decompile the apk, then make any changes to the manifest XML file, then recompile the apk again.

Easier said than done, I haven’t actually gotten the recompilation and signing process to work yet… mostly because the tutorial (here’s the link, by the way) uses both Mac and PC for the process, whereas I just have a PC.

Anyways, that should point you in the right direction. [import]uid: 49447 topic_id: 15895 reply_id: 58789[/import]

Ok, thank you very much. This is a big help. [import]uid: 66317 topic_id: 15895 reply_id: 58796[/import]
