ERROR getting 'name' attribute: attribute is not a string value

Uploading my apk file to google play makes this error:

Your APK cannot be analyzed using aapt. Error output: Failed to run aapt dump badging: ERROR getting 'name' attribute: attribute is not a string value

Since I know that this problem is within my manifest file, I have put it here:

I have checked all android:name attributes and couldn't find the problem. Thank you all.

For me the issue was that the broadcast intent-filter name which was referenced from the string file was deleted. If you are using multi-module project check all manifest in Android Studio to see an error. android:name can refer to any android:name attribute, not just the one in application tag.

Merged manifest can be found at

app/build/intermediates/merged_manifest/<flavour>

I think this issue is for different reasons for different people. But in all cases it is the android:name attribute that needs to be investigated. When I encountered it and read some of the replies here, I found mine. Adding it here, just so that it can help someone in future.

<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="@string/broadcast_action" />
</intent-filter>

I had defined broadcast_action in strings.xml It worked when I changed that to a hardcoded string. AAPT does not accept a string reference here.

In Android we need to assign the strings through string.xml file.

 String name - "xyz app"

this is not the recommended approach

   String name = "@string/app_name"

In String.xml Store this name as

 <string name="app_name">xyz app</string>

complete in android programming we need to follow this approach for using strings

First of all, try to follow java naming convention

Since from your code I cant realy tell is your Application Class an Enclosing class

Try using .Classes.Model.AnalyticsApplication instead of ir.altontech.newsimpay.Classes.Model.AnalyticsApplication

may be on of your class had been moved to another package check if all of your classes are in the same package path like manifest 

        android:name="ir.altontech.cloudmessaging.core.pushnotification.PushNotificationService"

If your app is multi-lingual, then make sure you have provided the translatable as false in the string.xml or provide the app_name in the other files as well. I too got this error once and that was the cause.

so after searching a little I have found three options for you to do:

1- if you have something as follows (which I see you don't ):

<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="@string/alarm_auto_sync" >
</intent-filter>

you should hard code the string and remove @string

2- follow this bug to see what could and have been done to solve this issue as I found out this might be the bug of

aapt dump badging

3- if you have values-fa and values-en and other string values as such you should copy your android:name to values.

for more information on these options visit this question or this question

hope this helps

If you are using any library project as module in your project that having 

 android:label="@string/app_name"

in their string.xml file then it may coause of your problem.

So your pass hardcode app name in your manifest file for app name like below.

 android:label="PASS YoUR APP NAME HERE not from string.xml"

This is how you have defined your custom permission:

<permission
    android:name="ir.altontech.newsimpay.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
    android:protectionLevel="signature" />

But in the docs you can see:

You need to supply both a label and description for the permission.

I'm not sure whether this may be the case, but at least docs urge you to define label and description.

check this link from google

      android:name="string"

the document says , your syntax of android:name element should be String .

i think , your manifest file project is good . check your manifest library .maybe you add some library and get this error . also check your project and your library have android:name element .

hope this help you .

All thing seems good in your AndroidManifest.xml except xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" position. Please give a try by moving xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" from <application></application> tag to <manifest></manifest> tag like this.

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="ir.altontech.newsimpay"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

<application
    android:name="ir.altontech.newsimpay.Classes.Model.AnalyticsApplication"
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:supportsRtl="false"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
    tools:replace="android:supportsRtl">
</application>

Hope this will work for you :)
