Gradle Project Sync Failed after updating to Android Studio 3.3.0

I haven't touched my Android Studio for a loooong time, it still worked fine when I launched it, but then I updated to 3.3.0 and I get a 'gradle project sync failed'. I know this is not trivial to debug via SO, but I tried to find anything similar and I lack of knowledge about the entire studio didn't help.

So maybe you can guide me to a solution, I'm not sure what files are necessary, but here is the actual error:

ERROR: Failed to parse XML in C:\Users\roberts\AndroidProjects\LingoFlash\app\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml ParseError at [row,col]:[27,9] Message: expected start or end tag Affected Modules: app

This is the AndroidManifest.xml file:

 20     <application
 21         android:allowBackup="true"
 22         android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
 23         android:label="@string/app_name"
 24         android:supportsRtl="true"
 25         android:theme="@style/MyMaterialTheme">
 26         //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 27         <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
 28             <intent-filter>
 29                 <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
 30                 <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
 31             </intent-filter>
 32         </activity>

so what's wrong at line 27? seems to point to the MainActivity

before I paste a ton of data, what would help to debug this?

Comments in xml files do not start with Double slash // they work with <!--Your comments-->. Your manifest is having lines that start with // remove them and try to clean and build your project.

Check if you have some wrong character found in the [27,9] position of the AndroidManifest.xml.
