12,025 PointsAndroidManifest.xml is a key file to all Android projects. It contains a detailed listing of features and permissions needed by your app, as well as a list of all activities included in the app, their relationships with each other, and other dependencies (such as broadcast message senders and receivers).
The error you're getting is indicating that the file is either missing from the project (Android Studio creates it by default, usually listed in the "main" folder of your src directory. In the project browser, it'll usually be listed below all other src subdirectories), or that the file is malformed and missing the root <Manifest>` element.
You can find more details on the Android Developers website.
