Android Manifest merge error when removing package name for namespace

According to this doc we no longer need to provide package name in AndroidManifest.xml and instead use namespace in build.gradle and there we can define our package name.

package="org.sample.domain" found in source AndroidManifest.xml: C:\Users\user\Desktop\Projects\Sample\app\libs\sample\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml.
Setting the namespace via a source AndroidManifest.xml's package attribute is deprecated.
Please instead set the namespace (or testNamespace) in the module's build.gradle file, as described here: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/configure-app-module#set-namespace
This migration can be done automatically using the AGP Upgrade Assistant, please refer to https://developer.android.com/studio/build/agp-upgrade-assistant for more information.

But upon doing it the Merged Manifest tab shows error stating that I am not providing a package name. I tried both at the same time but the warning build shows again.

Above both answers are right but if you are using any other module so please also declare the namespace there. I am using the native templates module.

Note: Open Project as Files then you will see other module or its build file.

Remove package element from manifest and insert it into §build.gradle§(:app) as namespace:

android {
    ...
    ...
    namespace 'your.package.name'
}

Remove package="com.your.unique.package.name" attribute from the <manifest> element in the AndroidManifest.xml file of your app module

Add it to the app module build.gradle i.e build.gradle(:app) using namespace

android {
     ...
     namespace 'com.your.unique.package.name'
}

🔴 Note: You have to do this for every other module if your project is multi-module.
