Same problem, When did you solve this issue?

same issue here, please solve and update us for the newest version of SDK

Hey Folks,

Thanks for your patience. We've pushed out a fix for this issue. If you upgrade to the most recent version of the mobile sdk (2.3.0) you should be all set.

Thanks!

Sweet, thanks @eric27

The issue remains in mobile sdk (2.3.0)

Error:
    Attribute provider#androidx.core.content.FileProvider@authorities value=(my.package.name.fileprovider) from AndroidManifest.xml:212:13-70
    is also present at [zendesk.messaging:messaging-android:2.3.0] AndroidManifest.xml:42:13-82 value=(com.getpackage.courier.zendesk.messaging.fileprovider).
    Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:authorities"' to <provider> element at AndroidManifest.xml:210:9-218:20 to override.

I am still facing this issue any update on it?

I'm also facing this issue in our application that declares the FileProvider, any update about it?

SDK:

zendesk.messaging:messaging-android:2.6.0

Log:

Manifest merger failed : Attribute meta-data#android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS@resource value=(@xml/file_paths) from (unknown)
    is also present at [zendesk.messaging:messaging-android:2.6.0] AndroidManifest.xml:55:17-51 value=(@xml/files_path).

Hello,

The problem is still not fully fixed, and we must remove ZenDesk SDK because it conflicts with another library.

Log:

Manifest merger failed : Attribute meta-data#android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS@resource value=(@xml/files_path) from [zendesk.messaging:messaging-android:2.6.0] AndroidManifest.xml:55:17-51 is also present at [other:sdk:1.2.3] AndroidManifest.xml:279:17-55 value=(@xml/provider_paths).

Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:resource"' to <meta-data> element at AndroidManifest.xml to override.

This is a description of a problem and how to fix it.

Hi,

Thanks Oleksandr, but unfortunately the issue is also related to both Zendesk and another library we use having the same FileProvider name... I believe Zendesk should apply this fix you mentioned to also avoid Manifest Merging issues with other libraries.

@eric27

Hi all! We have a problem ticket opened up with our devs to look into this issue. No timeline at the moment, I'll keep you updated with any new information.

Any update on this?

I was trying to set up the zendesk sdk for my app and I'm facing the same issue. Is there any workaround?

It's the same issue for me as well. I'm still facing the same issue despite finding the new update. Anybody who has, please let me know.

Meanwhile, how do you manage to let the users create tickets? This is the first time I try to integrate Zendesk with my app. If I have to use an older SDK version please let me know. Otherwise I guess I'll have to make my own form and use the API to create mannually the tickets. Thanks!

Hello all! We have not yet published the release notes, but we have released version 2.8.0 which should contain the fix for this. Please update your projects and let us know if you're still seeing issues.

Hello Greg, thanks for the update. Switching to 2.8.0 now allows me to compile the apk, however my app crashes seconds after it starts. I just added the implementation of the library in gradle. I don't have any instantiation nor any type of usage of any of the classes in the library. If I remove the library from gradle, it works again.

I'm compiling with sdk version 33. If I use a previous one, it fails during compilation

Hi @greg29!

It seems that the FileProvider name issue was fixed when switching to use SDK 2.8.0, I'll wait to check the release notes once they are available.

Thanks

The app will flash back when opened. This error occurs. The version is 2.8.0. I hope it can help me. Thank you very much
