Build fails with 'task :features:catalog:createDebugCompatibleScreenManifests FAILED' while refactoring to dynamic feature modules on android

Once I introduced dynamic feature modules into my app, I was able to successfully refactor feature one (orders), build and deploy. But on refactoring the second module, i.e moving files and resources to that module, I get this error on build:
Execution failed for task ':features:catalog:createDebugCompatibleScreenManifests'.
> Failed to calculate the value of task ':features:catalog:createDebugCompatibleScreenManifests' property 'applicationId'.
> Failed to query the value of property 'testedApplicationId'.
> Collection has more than one element.
I have tried the following fixes:
invalidate cache
reclone project
ensure all gradle files are identical (except for applicationId bit)
checked that there are no errors in the manifest files
confirmed that no two modules share the same application ID.
rebase the project to the last working commit.
Any pointers as to what is causing this build issue?
Other info: I'm using dependency injection with koin.

The issue ended up being a library I had imported.
The library had plugin apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
instead of
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
As such, gradle build task was looking for applicationId and applicationName in the manifest, which was not there.
Oops, developer error.

For me it happened when adding a new dynamic feature module with multiple flavors.
I solved it by changing inside module.gradle:
implementation project(path: ':app', configuration: 'default')
into
implementation project(":app")
Then add flavors into module.gradle
flavorDimensions "app"
productFlavors {
flavor1 {}
flavor2 {}
flavor3 {}
}
Here is my final module.gradle
apply plugin: 'com.android.dynamic-feature'
android {
compileSdkVersion 29
buildToolsVersion '29.0.3'
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 21
targetSdkVersion 29
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
flavorDimensions "app"
productFlavors {
flavor1 {}
flavor2 {}
flavor3 {}
}
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
}
dependencies {
implementation project(":app")
}

Uninstall the application from emulator and then restart it

Android Studio generated apk installs but doesn't open

I have installed my apk bundle that I created via Build APK(s) and it installs but won't let me open it, and it doesn't show in the menu.
I've already checked Project/App/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml and Project/build.gradle and settings.gradle as well but I don't find anything odd.
android:protectionLevel="signature" is not in any of the previous files.
minifyEnabled is FALSE
I've read somewhere to edit my manifest and add or something (I can't find the post right now). I did it, and the app began to have gradle errors, and showed me another manifest that had those lines written.
Here's my Project/App/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

Android application on Gradle: Unable to merge dex

I have an error with my app in Android studio:
Execution failed for task

I use Gradle and Kotlin.
Android Studio 3.0.1.

I have research this theme on SO and I have tried some solution from here, like that:
Clean and rebuild project. No changes.
Change 'compile' in gradle to 'implementation'. No changes.
Delete .gradle and build directories. No changes.
Add multiDexEnabled true in defaultConfig in gradle. In this case, I have another error:
Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithMultidexlistForDebug'.

What am I missing?
UPD
It seems I found out the point after that the problem has appeared. It was after adding Twilio configuration. I used this manual: Twilio and Android
This is all changes that have been done:
Add to build.gradle:
implementation 'com.twilio:client-android:1.2.21'
Add to AndroidManifest:
<service android:name="com.twilio.client.TwilioClientService"
android:exported="false" android:stopWithTask="true"/>
Add to proguard-rules.pro
# Twilio Client
-keep class com.twilio.** { *; }
# Apache HttpClient
-dontwarn org.apache.http.**
That's all. Before this changes I didn't have this error

Use this in your build.gradle in app Module if you want to read an .aar file
for your libs dir:
repositories{
flatDir{
dirs 'libs'
}
}
dependencies {
compile(name:'nameOfYourAARFileWithoutExtension', ext:'aar')
}
But it seems that your problem is multidex(means that you have more than 65K methods in your project so use this:
android {
defaultConfig {
multiDexEnabled true
}
}
and if your minSdk < 20 then use this as well:
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
Hope it helps!!!

Git submodule causing Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK] Android sdk 21

I am working on an app and trying to use the new material design, aka sdk version 21.
I had everything working fine, and then wanted to at a fab (floating action button) using this library.
I added this library as a submodule, using
git submodule add https://github.com/shamanland/floating-action-button
while under C:\Users\USER\AndroidStudioProjects\ProjectName
My file structure looks like so
ProjectName
app
floating-action-button
The issue
Before everything was totally fine, I was able to build and run the project.
But, ever since adding this submodule, when trying to run it, I get the error
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]
So I'm thinking it has to do with the submodule, but I'm not sure how.

f-a-b/AndroidManifest.xml (probably a clue here, I (tried to) bold the areas that Android Studio has turned red
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android=" **http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android** "
package="com.shamanland.fab.example">
<application

android:label="#string/app_name"
**android:icon** ="#drawable/ic_launcher"
**android:theme** ="#style/AppTheme"

I have a strong suspicion that the submodule was added incorrectly.
Really all I want is to use a fab in my app, if anyone can help me figure out what may be wrong, with adding the submodule, or something with my build.gradle, that would really be appreciated!!

This error is usually caused by deploying an APK built with "compileSdkVersion n" to a device or emulator with an API level less than "n". Is your emulator at the right API level?
