 In VisualStudio Code, each time I try to run one of the commands &amp;quot;Edit Application&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Edit Languages&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Edit Annotations&amp;quot; I receive the message &amp;quot;Manifest file is not in the correct format&amp;quot;. 
 The Monkey C plugin for VStudio is v0.1.13 (latest</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Sat, 10 Jul 2021 22:24:04 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/discussion/268418/visualstudio-code-manifest-file-is-not-in-the-correct-format" /><item><title>RE: VisualStudio Code: Manifest file is not in the correct format</title><link>https://forums.garmin.com/thread/1286355?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 10 Jul 2021 22:24:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">a9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:ae47b1eb-e8e2-43f2-aacd-a33cec1eb1c7</guid><dc:creator>flowstate</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s hard to tell because the forum apparently edited the 2nd line of what you pasted (the line with &amp;quot;iq:manifest&amp;quot;) to render the URL as a link. There&amp;#39;s a stray &lt;strong&gt;&amp;quot;&amp;gt; &lt;/strong&gt;which is making the XML invalid, but I don&amp;#39;t know if that&amp;#39;s in your actual manifest, or if the forum put it there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To avoid that kind of thing, use Insert &amp;gt; Code.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I will say that the following (similar) manifest file works for me without any edits:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre class="ui-code" data-mode="xml"&gt;&amp;lt;?xml version=&amp;quot;1.0&amp;quot;?&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;!-- This is a generated file. It is highly recommended that you DO NOT edit this file. --&amp;gt;
