ERROR

Error:(34) Error: The element must be a direct Child of the element [Wrongmanifestparent] Error:Execution failed for task ':app:lintVitalRelease'.

Lint found fatal errors while assembling a release target. To proceed, either fix the issues identified by lint, or Modify your build script as Follows: ... android { lintOptions { checkReleaseBuilds // Or, if you prefer, you can continue to check for errors in release builds, // but continue the build Even when errors are found: abortOnError false } } ...

Answer 1

I believe the problem may be <service> out of <application>

Try it this way and see if it resolves:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PROFILE" />
