AAPT2 error: check logs for details AppThene

I am facing an AAPT2 error, this is due to the upgrade of Android Studio.
After a lot of Internet Search, i figured it must be something with the xml in the Android Manifest. I tried different things, chanching the structre, but not sucessful yet. Do have experience with the AndroidManifest.xml and AAPT2? Here's mine

I can't find the problem. Maybe you can.

Try #style/Apptheme instead of just Apptheme.
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">

Fix INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED

After searching three hours on the web I couldn't find a solution for my app , I'm having an error that says : INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED .. Any Help ! by the way I tried to test it before and it works great !! Any suggestions ?
This is the Manifest file :
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/icon"
android:label="#string/app_name"

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

Looks like your manifest file is missing those lines :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.abdullahadhaim.itc"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
Try to add them, then clean-up the project and build it

aapt dump badging error while trying to publish an Android apk on Google Play

I am getting this problem when publishing android apk file on Google Play.
This is my AndroidManifast.xml code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

</activity>
<activity
android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"/>
</application>
I tried many stackoverflow.com examples but failed. Apk is working fine in device and emulator.

This may be your problem
<activity
android:name="amithanda.com.MainActivity"
android:label="#style/AppTheme" >
label should be a String value.
android:label="#string/app_name"
FYI : Developer guide gives you an idea
android:label="string resource"

any error from a DDMS? also you can try looking for .apk file from your project source and installing the app into the device.

Did you check "allow installation from non market applications" in your phone settings?
Did you remove an SD card around the time of installation?

Check if you have declared Main Activity twice inside AndroidManifest.xml. Delete one.
Another solution is if you haven't signed your app, you need to sign it. As the docs say All applications must be signed. The system will not install an application on an emulator or a device if it is not signed. Go here for more information: Android App Signing

I solved it, the problem was in my phone, I had to format my phone in order to work
