WARNING: The option setting ‘android.enableR8=false’ is deprecated.
It will be removed in version 5.0 of the Android Gradle plugin.

I tried manually chaning the theme in AndroidManifest.xml but it didn’t work.
Reinstalled the SDK but it didn’t work either.
I’m making a game using the Cardbord SDK.

I had this issue as well, and the fix ended up being following the instructions in the
Google Cardboard quickstart
: upgrading the Android SDK to 33 and following the instructions to create custom gradle manifests in the
publishing settings.
Thanks i will try it now. I forgot what was i even working on since i have opened this thread a month ago and ditched the project because of this error.
