uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 1 cannot be smaller than version 7 declared in library [com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.0]

See original GitHub issue

I’m following this Google Play Games Services tutorial: https://developers.google.com/games/services/android/quickstart#before_you_begin

I’ve followed every single step in this tutorial, but when I tried to build the “Type-A-Number” package, it showed me:

Error:Execution failed for task ':libraries:BaseGameUtils:processDebugAndroidTestManifest'.
> java.lang.RuntimeException: Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 1 cannot be smaller than version 7 declared in library [com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.0] /Users/sean/Progs/android-basic-samples/BasicSamples/libraries/BaseGameUtils/build/intermediates/exploded-aar/com.android.support/appcompat-v7/23.2.0/AndroidManifest.xml
    Suggestion: use tools:overrideLibrary="android.support.v7.appcompat" to force usage

Can anyone tell me how to solve it?

You have to add the minSdkVersion to your build.gradle.

Otherwise, gradle uses the default value = 1. minSdkVersion *sdk
