Android Studio – Flutter and Android release aab 'android:exported = true' not working

I tried to upload the AAB file to the play console but giving the 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. This file can’t be installed on Android 12 or higher. See: developer.android.com/about/versions/12/behavior-changes-12#exported error. I set the exported= true property to the activity too. And also add the android:exported="true" tools:node="merge".

I made the changes in the manifest as per suggestions then also getting same issue.

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        package="com.example.example">

        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
    
    
    
        <!-- io.flutter.app.FlutterApplication is an android.app.Application that
             calls FlutterMain.startInitialization(this); in its onCreate method.
             In most cases you can leave this as-is, but you if you want to provide
             additional functionality it is fine to subclass or reimplement
             FlutterApplication and put your custom class here. -->
