Can't generate APK

[cgilbertson]

I run into an error every time I try and generate an apk. 
My logs are posted in the forums under:

Here's the referenced post: Can't generate APK - unity ads?

Here's the error from the logs:

Code: [Select]

uses-permission#android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE
IMPLIED from /Users/ChaseGilbertson/stencylworks/games-generated/RashyRabbit/Export/android/bin/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:2:1-30:12 reason: org.haxe.extension has a targetSdkVersion < 4

To figure out why some part of the manifest has a targetSdkVersion < 4, the manifest merger blame file should be checked.

Code: [Select]

edit: got the path to the manifest merger wrong the first time.

I took another look at the logs and noticed a different error. This seems to be the actual problem.

Code: [Select]

Merging result: ERROR
/Users/ChaseGilbertson/stencylworks/games-generated/RashyRabbit/Export/android/bin/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml Error:
     uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 14 cannot be smaller than version 19 declared in library [com.unity3d.ads:unity-ads:3.5.1] /Users/ChaseGilbertson/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/7884508b43c02d90f79bd93634568ff9/transformed/jetified-unity-ads-3.5.1/AndroidManifest.xml as the library might be using APIs not available in 14
     Suggestion: use a compatible library with a minSdk of at most 14,
         or increase this project's minSdk version to at least 19,
         or use tools:overrideLibrary="com.unity3d.ads" to force usage (may lead to runtime failures)

The problem with READ_PHONE_STATE being added as an implied permission is a different issue.

Changing the minimum version required for Android from 14 to 19 (or higher) allowed me to generate an apk - thanks so much, Justin!
