Android build.gradle ERROR: ParseError at [row,col]:[65,9] Message: expected start or end tag Affected Modules: app

I got the same error, and the wrong character was found in the [row, col] position of the AndroidManifest.xml, not build.gradle


I got this same error, and finally I found that there is error in Mainfest.xml file

 <service
        android:name=".onboarding.httpserver.HttpService"
        android:exported="false"
        >
    </service>>

you see, there are two >> after /service. which is wrong. After I fix this error, this message is disappear


I got the same error similar one like

Message: expected start or end tag
Affected Modules: app
[row, cal] 17,17

I forget an unnecessary /> characters in Manifest. Try to clean it any one has it.
