Java – Android: targetapi is not recognized in the manifest

My list has the following lines:

<intent-filter  android:autoVerify="true">

But I got a lint warning:

Attribute autoVerify is only used in API 23 and higher (current min is 16)

So I changed it to look like this (according to the advice given to me by Android studio):

<intent-filter  android:autoVerify="true" tools:targetApi="M">

Then I received this error when building APK:

Error:java.lang.RuntimeException: [path_to_manifest]/AndroidManifest.xml:58:13-67:29: Error: Invalid instruction 'targetApi', valid instructions are : REMOVE,REPLACE,STRICT

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No enum constant com.android.manifmerger.AttributeOperationType.TARGETAPI

How to get rid of this mistake while getting rid of the lint warning?

Edit: I tried "clean item" and "invalidate cache and restart" – unable to resolve the error

Open issue on issue tracker:

resolvent:

I found the answer here and provided a solution to this problem

By using this line:

<intent-filter  android:autoVerify="true"
            tools:ignore="UnusedAttribute">

I'm not going to mark this as an accepted answer – I prefer someone who can explain how to use targetapi (if available)?
