Question 127563 in Android Studio Question posted in
The official documentation can be found here.

Android Studio – I set android:exported but I am still getting error: android:exported needs to be explicitly specified for <receiver>

I am moving from SDK version 30 to 31 and I add android:exported in intent-filter but still I am getting this error:

Merging Errors: Error: android:exported needs to be explicitly specified for . Apps targeting Android 12 and higher are required to specify an explicit value for android:exported when the corresponding component has an intent filter defined. See https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element#exported for details.

    I resolve my issue. I just check the merged manifest and look for reciver. In onesignal, I found out reciver with intent filter defined without android:exported. I just add android:exported="false".

    The reason is because some of the dependency libraries that you’re using have elements which do not have "android:exported" attribute.

    You need to do this:

    • Lower the version in your gradle to 30 and sync and build.
    • Go to your AndroidManifest.xml file and click on "Merged Manifest".
    • Find items such as Activity, Receiver, Service, etc that don’t have "android:exported" attribute.
    • Then add them to your AndroidManifest.xml file in this way.
    <activity
    android:name="SomeActivity"
    android:exported="false"
    tools:node="merge"
    tools:replace="android:exported" />

    Now you can increase your version to 31.
