Android-Image-Cropper: Mainfest merger failed

Tried to include the library but got this error.

Manifest merger failed : Attribute application@appComponentFactory value=(android.support.v4.app.CoreComponentFactory) from [com.android.support:support-compat:28.0.0] AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-91
	is also present at [androidx.core:core:1.0.0] AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-86 value=(androidx.core.app.CoreComponentFactory).
	Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:9:5-29:19 to override.

So, I added the tools:replace=“android:appComponentFactory” to manifest and since then I’m getting

use 2.7.0 instead, which helps

Please remove the AndroidX support! Many of us can’t upgrade our massive projects to AndroidX yet, making it impossible to use 2.8.0 of this library. 2.7.0 has a major bug that causes Android Pie devices to crash when cropping which was fixed in 2.8.0, so right now your library is effectively broken for anyone who can’t update to AndroidX yet.

For anyone interested I build a non AndroidX version.

I added it to to this comment as a .aar file. To include it into your project place the .aar file into <project>/app/libs folder.

Then to implement it into your build.gradle: For your <project>/app/build.gradle add this to your dependencies implementation(name: 'android-image-cropper-2.8.0-nonX', ext: 'aar') { transitive = true }

For your <project>/build.gradle add this to your allprojects > repositories (I added it at the bottom) flatDir{ dirs 'libs' }

android-image-cropper-2.8.0-nonX.zip

I just ran into this issue as well. When you open the Merged Manifest view of AndroidManifest.xml, do you see an error complaining that tools:replace has no value specified in app main (or something along those lines)?

That’s the erorr I saw, and I added another property to the application element to specify the appComponentFactory to use (still not sure if this is the right one)

android:appComponentFactory="android.support.v4.app.CoreComponentFactory"
tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"

The tools:replace property is used to override properties that conflict when merging manifests. So I think it also requires a value to be set. See the docs for more information. https://developer.android.com/studio/build/manifest-merge

migrated to AndroidX, version 2.8 will work.

Using 2.7 worked for me. It seems 2.8 is built for Android X Projects

Update to support library to AndroidX

So if you need use version 2.8 when you need update your project to Android X https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate
