File 'root/AndroidManifest.xml' uses reserved file or directory name 'AndroidManifest.xml'

My android studio version is 3.4.0. Gradle version is 3.4.0. I try to clean project, re-install Android Studio, modified Project Setting Build option. So far no luck. Actually, I have no idea what is my actual error. Just getting this error message in build log.

Update

Here is my error log, after applying all of your suggestions

While building my android app, I am getting this error.

File 'root/AndroidManifest.xml' uses reserved file or directory name 'AndroidManifest.xml'.

Here is my build.gradle file

       }

The version 5.0 of facebook library audience-network-sdk has the issue. If you download the aar file from maven respository, then drag it into Android Studio and expand the classes.jar, you would find there is a AndroidManifest.xml inside the classes.jar. That's the cause.

The problem might be because of the facebook library. Try updating it. I think the latest one is:

implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-login:[5,6)'

This error will happen if AndroidManifest.xml file is at wrong path . Check the path of you manifest file , it should be inside main folder.

If this is caused by library you can fix it by adding this inside android block of build.gradle

packagingOptions {
  exclude 'AndroidManifest.xml'
  }
