Installing app debug but not able to open - android

Here is my android manifest file. I can install the apk, but I cannot open it. How do I allow it to open?
`
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/lockicon"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>

Google Maps API Android build gradle parse failing with Google Services integration

So I am developing a map using Google Maps API for Android Studio. I can get a running build on my phone (Android 28.0) but it has no data on it, it's just a blank map. As soon as I start adding google services it gives me new errors.
ERROR: Failed to parse XML in C:\Users\Madzp\Desktop\MapsRedo\app\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml
ParseError at [row,col]:[11,5]
Message: expected start or end tag
Affected Modules: app
This directs me to my manifest which edits the <application> tag with
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:hardwareAccelerated ="true"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity
android:name=".MapsActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_maps">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
android:value="#string/google_maps_key" />
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
<uses-library
android:name="org.apache.http.legacy"
android:required="false"/>
</application>
How do I sort this parsing error as it always makes my project gradle sync fail?
Thanks,

Can't find uses-permission into manifest file

I'm trying to upload a new version of an application into Google Developer Console.
At the end of the upload, the console show this error message:
"Your APK uses permissions that require the setting of privacy policies: (android.permission.CAMERA)"
So I think that I have this uses-permission into the manifest file and I need to add a google privacy policy.
That's ok, but this is my manifest file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="simone.biliato.delonghitrevisotvb">
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity
android:name="simone.biliato.delonghitrevisotvb.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<service android:name="simone.biliato.delonghitrevisotvb.NotificationInstanceIdService">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.firebase.INSTANCE_ID_EVENT" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
<service android:name="simone.biliato.delonghitrevisotvb.NotificationMessagingService">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
</application>
Where are all the permissions? Why I don't see them? I'm sure that I added them earlier and now disappear. Is there a specific location? A list of all permission for the project?
User permissions are made up from the ones you have in your manifest and those that come from the library or dependencies you have in your project. The result will be a manifest merged by all of them. Check your dependencies.
You can use the apk analyzer : https://developer.android.com/studio/build/apk-analyzer.html
Our friends from CommonsWare give us a good solution to detect where the permissions come from:
https://commonsware.com/blog/2015/06/25/hey-where-did-these-permissions-come-from.html
To get a better sense of where those elements are
coming from, we can look at

Android multi-process application

I have been wondering 1 thing about running multi-process app on Android.
Say, I have a setup in the manifest file as follow..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.multiprocess">
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<service
android:name=".MainService"
android:process=":main" />
<service
android:name=".SubService"
android:process=":sub" />
</application>
</manifest>
With this, when I start both services with startService() and I will see each process listing separately on system's "Running services" page. (See image below)
I would like to know how can I get both processes list under 1 name like Google Play services does? (see image below)
Probably, they use android:sharedUserId for all of their processes. But in any case you can figured that out by extracting AndroidManifest.xml from Google Play *.apk file and analyze it

Google Play Services: Can't solve the SIGN_IN_REQUIRED error

Before I back-pedalled into using the clean template activity, I had manually created an app that uses the GoogleAPIClient, which resulted in the app working (probably) on my device, but not on any other.
From creating the template Google Play activity, I only changed the manifest to include the app_id that I have registered with my Google Play Service account. When launching the app it shows a brief "Logging in" popup from Google Play, then continually tries to reconnect. Have tried with different devices on different computers. Have tried with both the owner's and assigned tester accounts. Same result.
I can't use any invite or room creating services.
Here is my Manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.kai.twincrawler" >
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".TwinCrawlerActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.games.APP_ID"
android:value="#string/app_id"/>
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.appstate.APP_ID"
android:value="#string/app_id"/>
</application>
</manifest>
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Android Play Store Campaign tracking pre-requisites

I'm attempting to use a campaign to promote my application. I've found these instructions and am attempting to do step one:
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/android/v2/campaigns#google-play-campaigns
However, my IDE (IntelliJ) is telling me it cannot resolve "com.google.analytics.tracking.android.CampaignTrackingService" in the Manifest file.
Is this a Bug in the IDE? Or is there a library I'm meant to be including with my application? And are there any other steps they have missed out? E.g. do I need to be adding internet permissions to my application?
When I run the application it seems to work fine, and here is my Android Manifest file:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher_toddlerswords"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:hardwareAccelerated="true">
<activity android:name="maddy.toddlercolors.ToddlerWords"
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name="maddy.toddlercolors.menu.QuickPrefsActivity" android:label="#string/app_name"/>
<!-- Used for install referral measurement-->
<service android:name="com.google.analytics.tracking.android.CampaignTrackingService"/>
<receiver android:name="com.google.analytics.tracking.android.CampaignTrackingReceiver" android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
After some further reading it looks like campaign tracking requires a google analytics jar, and will require internet permissions.
