Android Studio – Manifest merger failed in android xml file

I suddenly received the following error message. It is already added to the receiver, service, and activity wherever it is needed. I still get the same error and get stuck there badly

<receiver#com.google.android.gms.measurement.AppMeasurementInstallReferrerReceiver>.
App 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.

Here is my manifest file

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

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />

     <meta-data

Any help would be highly appreciated!!
