Android application manifest files provide information about your application. Its content is generated from the information in the following pages of your project configuration:

• Application
• Uses Permissions
• Version Info

When you build your project, your Android application manifest file is generated by default as AndroidManifest.xml into the following folder:

• In packages:

  Note: You do not need an Android application manifest file for packages.

  • For Delphi: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\Bpl\<platform>
  • For C++:
    • C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\Bpl\<platform>\<build configuration>
    • C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\DCP\<platform>\<build configuration>
• In other projects: C:\Users\<user>\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\Projects\<project>\<platform>\<build configuration>
