ERROR: dump failed because no AndroidManifest.xml found

When I try to upload an application to Android Play store I get the following error:

ERROR: dump failed because no AndroidManifest.xml found

Steps that I took:

  • new HDD, install clean jre, jdk
  • download Android eclipse bundle - latest version today
  • make a new project, sample. simple hello world
  • sign it with the wizard, create a certificate etc.
  • try to upload it on the market...=ERROR!

I tried many combinations, different eclipse versions. Even to sign it manually. It doesn't work. If I try to run aapt dump badging I get the same error.

Solution
    • compile it & export the project under Linux (eclipse)
    • switch to InteliJ Studio (recommended)

    It seems that from time to time there is a problem with eclipse under Windows 7,8.
