[ERROR] Build faild after update react native and android sdk build tools

I got this error after react-native run-android after update react-native and android sdk build tools with this error:

Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'.
> Manifest merger failed : Attribute application@allowBackup value=(false) from AndroidManifest.xml:15:7-34
        is also present at [:react-native-splash-screen] AndroidManifest.xml:12:9-35 value=(true).
        Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:allowBackup"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:11:5-33:19 to override.

Can you guide me to fix this?

Apply the suggestion from the logs: In your Manifest, in the <aplication> tag, right under android:theme... add tools:replace="android:allowBackup" also make sure to add in the <manifest> tag right under xmlns:android... add the following xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

Should be something like:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    package="com.yourpackage.name">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>

    <application
      android:name="com.yourpackage.name.MainApplication"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
      android:allowBackup="false"
      android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
      tools:replace="android:allowBackup">
   .....

Adding this line what is telling the compiler is to ignore the attribute from the library and listen to the one in your app.

@altaf4web I assume you forgot to add the

xmlns:tools=“http://schemas.android.com/tools”

in your manifest root element
