AndroidManifest.xml

The AndroidManifest.xml file is a crucial part of every Android app. It acts as the app's blueprint, detailing important information like the app's name, version, and permissions it needs to function (like accessing the internet or the camera). It also specifies the components of the app, such as activities (screens), services, and broadcast receivers. This file ensures the system understands how to run the app and what resources it requires, helping to maintain security and proper functionality within the Android operating environment.
