MSBuild Error "CreateAndroidManifestFile" task failed - path's format not supported

[Marinus 0]

Hi all,

 

I've upgraded from 12.0 to 12.1 and try to compile an existing project for Android. However I run into the following error:

[MSBuild Error] The "CreateAndroidManifestFile" task failed unexpectedly.
System.NotSupportedException: The given path's format is not supported.
   at System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission.EmulateFileIOPermissionChecks(String fullPath) [...]

Compiling a new empty project runs without problems.

 

 

My SDK settings were "lost" after upgrading to 12.1, but I fixed that by following the answer to this question:

I'd try deleting AndroidManifest.template.xml in your project folder (back it up first if you customized it), then redeploy.

Unfortunately that doesn't help.

I was able to compile the project by resetting the output directory and the unit directory.

I'm having the same problem. What exactly are you doing when you say you are resetting the output and unit directories?

 

Thanks in advance

They may mean in the Project Options - these are the defaults:

Hi Dave, that worked; thanks to you both.
