In my app I just realized that on Android Sembast db is not deleted when I uninstall the app, on iOS it does get deleted.
Looking at other answers here I saw that in order to prevent Android backup there is the flag android:allowBackup="false" to be set in AndroidManifest.xml. So I did for the Manifest in android/main/app. Nothing changed. Upon app uninstall and reinstall db is still there.
As my phone uses Android 7.0 API 24 I guess this flag will have affect on next installs, but I'll have to remove db manually. this time.
Did I add this flag correctly?

I tried to look for the db folder in the phone directory Android/data/com.vinny.fixit_cloud_biking/files but there is only a Pictures folder. Where do I get to delete the old db? this is the path declared in the singleton final dbPath = join(appDocumentDir.path, 'device.db');
Try to add android:allowBackup="false" at the <application> level not the <activity> level
<application
android:name="io.flutter.app.FlutterApplication"
android:allowBackup="false"
try this
add this on the manifest tag
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"<br>
tools:replace="allowBackup"<br>
android:allowBackup="false"<br>
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Also can add
android:allowBackup="false" (on application tag)

I would like to know what exactly is causing this error and how to solve it.
It should be like
<activity

or
check attached screenshots(check line number 14 for more details).
I was writing a Flutter Plugin that implements a ZygotePreload so under the plugin sources, I already declared this class
#TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.Q)
public class AppZygote implements android.app.ZygotePreload {
#Override
public void doPreload(#NonNull ApplicationInfo appInfo) {
System.loadLibrary("myjnilibrary");
}
}
and on the plugin's AndroidManifest.xml under the android directory
<manifest
package="..."
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" >
<application
android:allowBackup="false"
android:zygotePreloadName="my.plugin.package_id.AppZygote"
tools:ignore="AllowBackup"
tools:targetApi="q">
</application>
</manifest>
I had successfully integrated it on a normal Flutter project.
And then when I tried to integrate into an existing Flutter project that already uses it's own ZygotePreload implementation on it's Manifest where it looks like this
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Building the project caused this Gradle error.

is also present at [:my_plugin] AndroidManifest.xml:13:9-73 value=(my.plugin.package.AppZygote).
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:zygotePreloadName"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:17:5-76:19 to override.
It seems like if I do use tools:replace statement, that means I'll ignore the existing ZygotePreload provided by my plugin instead. Is that how it works?
So the question is, is it possible to use more than one android:zygotePreloadName on a single Android App Project, specifically the ones that use Flutter and it's plugins?
Or do I have to make a way around by implementing the codes on the plugin into the app's existing code base and mix it in somehow, or vice versa, by moving the app's implementation into my plugin instead?
Additional Info:
I was using Flutter v2.10.3 stable and NDK version of 25.0.8775105, targeting Android SDK level 32.

what is this permission and how i can handle it or remove it from my package
and when i install my app on phone this permission not show?
ok i found why android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES permission added to package
this is because file_open package has this permission
and it added to project automatically
As like the answers above it could have been requested by many packages. It can be made to be removed from the final manifest.xml by add these in the Androidmanifest.xml
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" //Add this line
package="com.example.app">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES" tools:node="remove"/> //Add this line
The tools:node='remove' will remove the permission from final manifest.xml
This technique can be used to remove other permissions also.
You could check the build/app/outputs/logs/manifest-merger-release-report.txt file. This is generated after you make a release build.
This file contains all information on how the final AndroidManifest.xml is created and where permissions might come from.
In my case, it came from open_file package.
I came across the same issue. In my case, it was because of the pakage open_file after going through many online threads about the same topic.
I used the open_file_safe package to resolve the issue.
open_file_safe is same as open_file, but .apk file type is not
supported. Thus, android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES
permission is removed.
I'm developing an Android Wear watch face along with its mobile companion configuration activity.
As a start I followed the documentation (https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/watch-faces/configuration.html#CompanionActivity) and used the available examples from Google (https://developer.android.com/samples/WatchFace/index.html), specifically the FitDistanceService.
If I use the actual code from the example it all works. The small gear icon - used to open the companion (phone) configuration activity - shows up in the Android Wear app on the phone and I can open the companion phone config activity by tapping on it.
But if I rename the package name from the default "com.example.android.wearable.watchface" to anything else (even to com.example.android.wearable.mycompany) the gear icon disappears from the Android Wear app on the phone and it becomes impossible to open the configuration activity.
I tried changing the package name in any possible way. I've tried using the Move, Copy, Rename functionalities in Android Studio (v. 2.2.3). I've tried to manually change the package name and all its occurrencies in all of the project files using Sublime Text, also renaming the related folders and changing any occurrence of the package name in the manifest.xml of wear and mobile apps.
After the renaming (moving, copying etc.) it all works perfectly. Not a warning, nothing. The watch face behaves as expected, but the gear icon simply disappears.
This is the MOBILE manifest.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.android.wearable.watchface" >

android:targetSdkVersion="23" />
<!-- Permissions required by the wearable app -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />

They both work perfectly, if you don't try to rename the package from "com.example.android.wearable.watchface" to something else.
Any clues? Of course I could go on with the "com.example.android.wearable.watchface" package name, but it seems implausible that it's not possible to change the package name.
Thank you!

I am a bit puzzled about that manifest. It has two services and one activity. The activity is not marked as default activity. When I run the project on my phone it doesn't show any icon to start the app neither does the app start automatically.
Does a manifest like this make sense? What does the Android OS based on such a manifest?
Does a manifest like this make sense?
Yes, since it declares a sync adapter an an authenticator.
Generally, such manifests would also make sense in a library project. The app project that uses the library then provides the main launcher activity. The build process merges manifest files together so you get one manifest per APK.
What does the Android OS based on such a manifest?
As such, it has the entry points such as an activity and two services declared. Generally you invoke these entry points via an Intent. The services are declared as a sync adapter and an authenticator, so they can be invoked by the framework. The activity is probably invoked by the authenticator service for UI purposes.
Because there's no main launcher activity, no menu icon is visible.
