I don't have a problem sharing my manifest file, but here's the
current difference between a manifests with which the app builds, and
one it doesn't - a SINGLE empty line.
For example, if my manifest contains these lines:

<activity android:name="...</activity>
<activity ...></activity>

it *won't* build.

If, on the other hand it looks like this:

<activity android:name="...</activity>

<activity ...></activity>

it will build.

I'm not sure. A crash address, contrary to your opinion about it is
quite a bit of information. It is almost a direct pointer to the
crashing function.

Sorry for the CAPS LOCK rants, but you can imagine how annoyed I was.

In some cases perhaps, in many cases, especially if the code is
written with many small functions, as opposed to a few big ones, it's
quite enough.
