I have bug that says "AndroidManifest.xml doesn't exist or has incorrect root tag" What does this mean?

I downloaded the file from treehouse and got this error.

Hi, The message appears to indicate that Android Studio does not recognize or cannot find your Manifest file. You can try syncing the project with the Gradle files and invalidating caches and restarting.
