Hi there!  
Im following the quickstart for a native android app.  
Got application-keys, added to strings.xml.  
Added callback url in auth0 ui.  
Added android.permission.INTERNET to Manifest.xml  
Added Auth0 dep in build.gradle and after that I get a error:

Android resource linking failed  
/Users/xx/AndroidStudioProjects/MyAppName/app/build/intermediates/merged\_manifests/debug/AndroidManifest.xml:13: error: unexpected element found in .

My build.gradle file:

apply plugin: ‘com.android.application’

android {  
compileSdkVersion 29  
defaultConfig {  
applicationId “com.myappname.android”  
minSdkVersion 29  
targetSdkVersion 29  
versionCode 2  
versionName “1.0”  
testInstrumentationRunner “android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner”  
manifestPlaceholders = [auth0Domain: “@string/com\_auth0\_domain”, auth0Scheme: “demo”]  
}  
buildTypes {  
release {  
minifyEnabled false  
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile(‘proguard-android-optimize.txt’), ‘proguard-rules.pro’  
}  
}  
}

dependencies {  
implementation fileTree(dir: ‘libs’, include: [‘\*.jar’])  
implementation ‘com.android.support:design:29.1.0’  
implementation ‘com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.3’  
implementation ‘com.auth0.android:auth0:1.+’  
testImplementation ‘junit:junit:4.12’  
androidTestImplementation ‘com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2’  
androidTestImplementation ‘com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2’  
}

Any ideas?

Solved by upgrading gradle… You may want to add a note here in the quickstart…
