android:usesCleartextTraffic=“true” in AndroidManifest not being detected

Im trying to get a file from http address, but since the target android device does not let such traffic trough, I added usesCleartextTraffic to manifest file, yet i still get the same error :

"AndroidVideoMedia::OpenExtractor failed in ExtractorSetDataSource with error -10000 trying to access HTTP URL . If Target API Level is 28 or greater, please confirm the usesCleartextTraffic attribute has been added to your Android manifest; or alternatively, enable cleartext traffic to specific domains in your network security config file."

Does anyone know where the issue could be? This is my full manifest:
