Hello Pratik,

Here is all you need to know about a manifest file:

Manifest file:
– It is a declaration file; such as Which activity should start first, that has been declared also declares which permissions the application must have.
– It also declares the permissions that others are required to have in order to interact.
– It declares the minimum level of the Android API & lists the libraries that the application must be linked.
– The components are activities, services, broadcast receivers, and content providers declares in a manifest file.
