I am getting this error when adding pom.xml in apk.

I referred to this question Android with maven? Apk unknown

But mvn clean install doesn't help me... So please help me to get rid of this error. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Try moving those plugins, particularly the android-maven-plugin outside of <pluginManagement>. When specified inside <pluginManagement> they don't run so the android-maven-plugin extension isn't seen so maven doesn't know what to do with the "apk" packaging.
