Issue: You uploaded an APK or Android App Bundle which has an activity, activity alias, service, or broadcast receiver with intent filter, but without the 'android: exported' property set.

According to google new policy If your app targets Android 12 or higher and contains activities, services, or broadcast receivers that use intent filters, you must explicitly declare the android:exported: true attribute for these app components.
FOR FLUTTER AND REACT NATIVE PROJECTS :
add this line to AndroidManifest.xml file of project :
android:exported="true"
Now just rebuild your project. In most of the cases this work like a charm.
If above solution is not working or if your project is in Android Native follow the below instructions :
In the main manifest file check all the activities, services, and receivers that can use intent-filter which are without the android: exported tag.
Add android:exported="true" or android:exported="false" for these tags.
You might ask when I need to add android:exported="true" or android:exported="false" to the activities, services, or broadcast receivers that use intent filters. If the app component includes the LAUNCHER category, set android: exported to true otherwise set android: exported to false.
If adding the android: exported in the main manifest file not works for you follow the below steps:
open AndroidManifest.xml file and at the bottom select Merged Manifest.
like this :
if you are not able to preview Merged Manifest then in your build.gradle file
set compileSdkVersion 30 and targetSdkVersion 30 and sync your project and now try to open the merged manifest again I hope this time you will have a proper preview of the merged manifest. but if there is no preview don't worry you can still navigate to individual manifest files from different third-party libraries you have used in your project.
Note: also check individual third-party library manifest files if there is any activity, service, or receiver using then you have to override the same activity, service, or receiver in your main manifest file with android: exported property.
For Example in my case I have defined android: exported for each and every activity, service, or receiver in my main manifest file but in my project, I was using Razorpay dependency so in the manifest of Razorpay I found that there is an activity and receiver which are using property without android: exported so I declared them in my main manifest files.
as shown below :
<activity
android:name="com.razorpay.CheckoutActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
android:theme="#style/CheckoutTheme"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<data
android:host="rzp.io"
android:scheme="io.rzp" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<receiver android:name="com.razorpay.RzpTokenReceiver"
android:exported="true"
android:permission="android.permission.INTERNET">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="rzp.device_token.share" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Note: in your case, you may have to go through more files and check activity, and services, and mention them in your main manifest file.
also after doing all this you can change back to targetSdkVersion 31 and compileSdkVersion 31 in your build.gradle file.
In my case, I just add this line to my manifest:
android:exported="true"
I finally fixed this issue
1: install emulator with android v 12
2: run your app
the compailer will tell you what service/reciver...etc casued the issue
now you have to add it to your manifist and add the android:exported="true" to it
in my case the prblem was with the local notifcation package
i got the message to fix this receiver
com.dexterous.flutterlocalnotifications.ScheduledNotificationBootReceiver
so i added to my manifist out side the main activity
<receiver android:name="com.dexterous.flutterlocalnotifications.ScheduledNotificationBootReceiver"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
and it worked as intended
By just adding exported:true to your Android manifest activity did not solve my issue. Probably because the libraries your application depends on does not have exported:true You shouldn't encounter this bug in the future as long as the libraries are updated with exported:true
You have to
open project in Android studio
Open Androidmanifest.xml
At the bottom select merged manifest
Now ensure that you add exported to true wherever stated and fix those warnings specified on the line (in blue) and tapping blue text does not take you to one of these tags Services, activity, receiver in above step then look for the library for which the merge error exist
e.g a merge error here shows issue in flutter.plugins.firebasemessaging.FlutterFirebaseMessagingService
So go to the manifest of that specific library which is listed in blue above the error, where you can add exported to true.(this will also resolve the merge error)
Add exported to true in services tag

The "exported" attribute describes whether or not someone else can be
allowed to use it.
So if you have "exported=false" on an Activity, no other app, or even
the Android system itself, can launch it. Only you can do that, from
inside your own application.
So settings "exported=false" on the Activity marked as the LAUNCHER
Activity would basically tell the system that it cant launch your
application, ever.
If you are not using any other project then update all library latest versions because some old library AndroidManifest.xml not added android: exported in activities, services, or broadcast receivers
If your Android Studio don't show the Merged Manifest tab, you can figure out what is the problem by searching on the merged AndroidManifest.xml file.
To me it was on: \build\app\intermediates\merged_manifests\release\AndroidManifest.xml
And my problem was the ScheduledNotificationBootReceiver:
Add this to your Manifest:
<receiver android:name="com.dexterous.flutterlocalnotifications.ScheduledNotificationBootReceiver"
android:exported="true">
</receiver>
If you are flutter developer and unable to find Merged Manifest tab, follow th e steps:
Open Project in Android Studio.
Navigate to main AndroidManifest.xml.
Navigation
Wait for Project Loading
Wait for Project
Here it is... Found
The problem on my RN app is that at debug/AndroidManifest.xml the exported for facebook.react.devsupport was set to false. changed that to true solved it.
Pressing merged Manifest showed me where the issue is.
Hope that helps.
Xamarin Forms: I was able to publish it, I had to update the AndroidManifest with the path obj\Release\120\android\manifest since some "receiver" were not there and had not added the "android:exported".
This is for Unity Developers in specific and for any frame work targeting android platform in general. If by any means, you are not able to publish even if you have added android:exported property to every activity/receiver containing intent filter, then you should do this approach and hopefully you will be able to solve the issue.
Problem
Recently, Playstore started to require apps / games to target API 31. You updated SDK, Gradle and all that stuff. You got a build, published to PlayStore and now Playstore is telling you, this
you uploaded an APK or Android App Bundle which has an activity, activity alias, service or broadcast receiver with intent filter, but without 'android:exported' property set.
YOU HAVE ALREADY TRIED
You now know that the Android Manifests including in you app / game contains some Activities, receivers, activity-alias etc which contain intent-filter but does not have android:exported property set to true or false.
You tried adding this property to all of the Manifests and unity 's own manifest by Enablisng Custom Android Manifest too. But still Playstore is not accepting the app.
You don't want to update Unity version to fix this. You still have a solution.
Let's Narrows down
You are doing good in adding android:exported property but when you are getting build, not all of those tags persist. During build, unity is replacing you properties, especially properties related to external plugins you have used in your app.
So lets have a look which plugins contain problematic activities/receivers etc.
Instead of building a bundle or apk, Export your unity project as Android Project.
Open project in android studio, and build there.
After build is complete, go to this file which is the Merged Menifest containing data from all individual manifests.
YourExportedProjectFolder\launcher\build\intermediates\merged_manifests\release
Go precisely through this file and check which activities/receivers etc does not contain exported:property set. Not down that plugin. That is the culprit.
Let's fix it
Go back to unity, go to the relevant plugin manifest, copy those specific problematic activities (Complete i.e. along with intent-filters) from that manifest and paste to
Assets/Plugin/Android/AndroidManifest
Something like this
<receiver android:name="universal.tools.notifications.ScheduledNotificationsRestorer"
android:exported="true"
tools:replace="android:exported">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Now build again and you should be good to go!
for react native that have many library i fix it with this step :
first is you build or run, then you look at app/build/intermedied/merged_manifest/release/AndroidManifest.xml
then look at all that have then copy from open tag above it and the closing tag either it activities, services, or broadcast, receivers. then paste to folder android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml and dont forget to put android:exported="true" to fix it. if you already cover all intent-filter then save then build again.
For Unity i did this, i went to gameProjectFolder\Temp\StagingArea y copy unityManifest to gameProjectFolder\Assets\Plugins\Android and changed the name to
AndroidManifest and in the label activity I add android:exported="true"
Adding the line android:exported="true" to my Manifes
Need to add android:exported="true" to all components which has an intent-filter.
See where you need to add it you can opening Merged Manifest file.
Just change
build.gradle -> defaultConfig
targetSdkVersion="31"
to
targetSdkVersion="30"
work normal for me.

When i am trying to update my app!!
Using mobile browser:
Screeshot : on Mozilla
Screenshot on Chrome:
When progress is 99% nothing happens in the end.
Using mobile shows the error that upload failed
I tried to sing out and sign back but nothing changed.
Thanks in advance!! :)
just log out and back in or use firefox instead of chrome. That should actually solve your problem...
I can now confirm that there is an issue uploading applications at the moment, there are a lot of people having issues, Google are looking into it now, and it should be fixed shortly.
try recompiling your app.
After that, clean the cache of the browser. Try using a different browser if nothing has changed
Try to add android:debuggable="false" inside <application> tag
Some things you can try:
Unpublish your app, wait for a while, upload your apk, then republish the app.
Use a different connection or a system, if that is what the problem is.
Add one of your friend OR another email of yours as a release manager and try uploading from his id.
Clear your browser cache, cookies, temp files etc and retry.
Just use a different name for the APK.
Do let me know if any of these work.
Upload for beta testing. After you have successfully downloaded your app from beta and you are certain it works correctly publish to production. See Beta testing and staged rollouts for details.
As far as I am aware google play services are fine, I uploaded an APK not too long ago and it all went okay, but that being said there could always be an issue with the google servers, however here are a few things you can try.
Examine your project by using Android Lint tool for any omissions and errors. To find out about lint see this link:
http://tools.android.com/tips/lint
Also, you could use the aapt tool, included in the Android SDK, to process your application, based on its declared features and permissions. To do so, run aapt with the dump badging command. It will parse your application's manifest and apply the same rules as used by Google Play to determine the features that your application requires. You can view more on this here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html#testing
I am having issues with Eclipse. I'm new to Android development so I wouldn't be surprised if I messed something up along the way.
My app installs twice on my phone. When I click 'Run', Eclipse does the usual with installation, but when it is finished, the app shows up twice (ie. two separate icons) on my phone. Any ideas what the problem is?
In your manifest:
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<activity
android:name="com.myapp.FirstActivity"
android:theme="#style/Theme.Apptheme" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name="com.myapp.SecondActivity"/>
</application>
make sure only your first activity has an intent-filter.
Uninstall both programs from the emulator. If you change the name of the program and/or change some of the settings, then it can install as a different program. My guess is after you do the install, then run that you'll only have the one icon.
Did you run two different versions of this code?
If so it will not save over the old icon but make a new one.
If this is the case trying deleting boths apps from the emulator and re-running it cleanly.
In my case I had two activities with the following intent-filter
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
I'm attempting to use a campaign to promote my application. I've found these instructions and am attempting to do step one:
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/android/v2/campaigns#google-play-campaigns
However, my IDE (IntelliJ) is telling me it cannot resolve "com.google.analytics.tracking.android.CampaignTrackingService" in the Manifest file.
Is this a Bug in the IDE? Or is there a library I'm meant to be including with my application? And are there any other steps they have missed out? E.g. do I need to be adding internet permissions to my application?
When I run the application it seems to work fine, and here is my Android Manifest file:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher_toddlerswords"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:hardwareAccelerated="true">
<activity android:name="maddy.toddlercolors.ToddlerWords"
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name="maddy.toddlercolors.menu.QuickPrefsActivity" android:label="#string/app_name"/>
<!-- Used for install referral measurement-->
<service android:name="com.google.analytics.tracking.android.CampaignTrackingService"/>
<receiver android:name="com.google.analytics.tracking.android.CampaignTrackingReceiver" android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
After some further reading it looks like campaign tracking requires a google analytics jar, and will require internet permissions.

I'm also tackled with this same problem and finally I found the solution for it. When you creating a new android project using Eclipes and if you didn't create a activity for your first window, your project's Manifest also don't create proper codings for you to application launch up.
So, you should hardcode them yourself.
First check these codes are available or not in your Project's Manifest file, within your main activity tags.
**
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
**
These two code lines are very important. Because these two lines are calling to android OS to launch this app.
So, Make sure these codes are available in your project's Manifest file. If it's not this below Manifest file code will gets you rough idea to fix this problem.
