'android:exported needs to be explicitly specified for <activity>. Apps targeting Android 12 and higher are required to specify
After upgrading to android 12, the application is not compiling. It shows
"Manifest merger failed with multiple errors, see logs"
Error showing in Merged manifest:
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:exportedwhen the corresponding component has an intent filter defined. See https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element#exported for details. main manifest (this file)
I have set all the activity with android:exported="false". But it is still showing this issue.

Solution 1:[1]
I had this issue and one of the libraries I used wasn't setting it correctly.
Find location
First of all, we need to find the exact location and/or cause for the error,
which can be done with different approaches (see below).
Find by inspecting merged-manifest (approach #1)
You can find it by doing the steps:
Set target SDK to 30 (to silence 31+ errors).
Open application's manifest (
AndroidManifest.xml) and click on "Merged Manifest" tab on bottom of your edit pane:
Which if you configure
build.gradlelike:allprojects { buildDir = "${rootProject.rootDir}/build/${project.name}" }Something similar should be in a sub-path like:
build/my-app/intermediates/merged_manifest/debug/AndroidManifest.xmlGo to the individual manifest file of all the libraries (You can skip this step if the merged manifest is created and you can just look into the merged manifest)
Search if there's any entry of type activity, service, receiver, or provider which does not have an
exportedattribute, and for each entry follow below "Fix found entries" section (or see once for how to setexportedattribute).Set target SDK back to 31 (or whatever it was before changing to 30).
Find by console logs (approach #2)
In Git-bash run something like:
./gradlew assembleDebug --stacktrace --info | tee my-logs.txtOpen
my-logs.txtfile (which previous step created, in your preferred text-editor).Now, the exact location is hidden in the logs, hence search in the created
my-logs.txtfile, for these keywords:activity#service#receiver#provider#
Which should find something like:
activity#androidx.test.core.app.InstrumentationActivityInvoker$BootstrapActivity
ADDED from [androidx.test:core:1.2.0] C:\Users\Admin\.gradle\caches\transforms-3\709730c74fe4dc9f8fd991eb4d1c2adc\transformed\jetified-core-1.2.0\AndroidManifest.xml:27:9-33:20
- Open
AndroidManifest.xmlfile that previous steps did find, search if there's any entry of typeactivity,service,receiver, orproviderwhich does not have anexportedattribute, and see below "Fix found entries" section (for how to set each entriesexportedattribute).
Note that (at time of writting) passing
--stacktracealone did not include location info ;-)
Fix found entries
If the real (not build-generated) source of found entry is in root-project's manifest (or somewhere you can alter),
set exported attribute to corresponding need (which is normally false) therein directly, like:
<receiver
android:name="<name_of_the_entry>"
android:exported="false or true"
tools:node="merge" />
Note that both
android:exported="..."andtools:node="merge"are set above.
But if found entry's specification is written in the manifest of a third-party library (which's real-source you can't alter), override the specification of said library by adding it to our root-project's manifest, for example like:
<provider
android:name="com.squareup.picasso.PicassoProvider"
android:exported="false"
tools:node="merge"
tools:overrideLibrary="com.squareup.picasso.picasso" />
Note that this time
tools:overrideLibrary="..."is set as well.For more information see Documentation,
and/or Similar issue in a SDK.
Solution 2:[2]
Fixing such issue can be a bit cumbersome, cause the IDE doesn't provide details on the error, it just tells you that there is an Activity, Receiver or Service without the exported parameter, but does not tell you which one it is. As Jakos recommend, you can manually check the merged manifest, or use this script in case the generated manifest is too large.
After that you can modify the affected entries by adding the exported attribute if it is part of your project, or override it if it's part of a library with:
<activity android:name="name_of_the_activity_inside_library>"
android:exported="false|true"
tools:node="merge" />
UPDATE: The manifest merge task seems to fail without generating the manifest when targeting android S and this problems are detected, so my advise is to compile the app using a targetSdk lower than 31, and then inspect the generated manifest either manually or using the script I linked. (you can find the merged manifest on the build folder or by inspecting the generated apk)

Check your build.gradle file for:
debugImplementation "androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:<version>"
and if present change it to:
androidTestImplementation "androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:<version>"
It should always have been androidTestImplementation but there was some dependency issue before and it was necessary to use debugImplementation as a workaround. The IDE actually prompted you to do this. But evidently it is fixed for SDK 31, and if you leave it as debugImplementation you get the android:exported-missing manifest error which comes from a manifest.xml in a dependent package.

For instrumented test, if you are using compose test, make sure you add androidx.test.ext:junit in addition to compose.ui dependencies
androidTestImplementation "androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.3"
androidTestImplementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-junit4:1.0.4"
Solution 5:[5]
After the build has failed go to AndroidManifest.xml and in the bottom click merged manifest see which activities which have intent-filter but don't have exported=true attribute.
Or you can just get the activities which are giving error.
Add these activities to your App manifest with android:exported="true" and app tools:node="merge" this will add exported attribute to the activities giving error.
Example:
<activity
android:name="<activity which is giving error>"
android:exported="true"
tools:node="merge" />
You will have to do this once, you can remove this once the library developers update their libs.

Change targetSdkVersion back to 30
You can leave compileSdkVersion at 31
Then hit Run
Solution 7:[7]
as the target sdk update to 31 android 12 so for that you have to do android export in your activity luncher in manifest.xml
android:exported="true"

The problem in my case was the test:core:1.3.0 (see screen shot).
I had to override the manifest entries for this library and declare the android:exported property:
<activity android:name="androidx.test.core.app.InstrumentationActivityInvoker$BootstrapActivity"
android:exported="true"
tools:node="merge"/>
<activity android:name="androidx.test.core.app.InstrumentationActivityInvoker$EmptyActivity"
android:exported="true"
tools:node="merge"/>
<activity android:name="androidx.test.core.app.InstrumentationActivityInvoker$EmptyFloatingActivity"
android:exported="true"
tools:node="merge"/>

<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:exported="true" <** add this line on AndroidManifest.xml**
android:launchMode="singleTop"
android:theme="@style/LaunchTheme"
</activity>
Solution 10:[10]
I'm not sure what you're using to code, but in order to set it in Android Studio, open the manifest of your project and under the "activity" section, put android:exported="true"(or false if that is what you prefer). I have attached an example.
Solution 11:[11]
If your app targets Android 12 or higher, you must declare these attribution tags in your app's manifest file. If the app component includes the LAUNCHER category, set android:exported to true.
<activity
android:name="com.test.activity.SplashActivity"
android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:launchMode="singleTop"
android:noHistory="true"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar"
android:exported="true">
Also check receiver or service in Androidmanifest, if you are using any receiver or service set android:exported="true" or false according requirement.
<receiver
android:name="com.test.receiver.ShareReceiver"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.test.fcm.android.action.broadcast" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<service
android:name="com.google.android.gms.tagmanager.InstallReferrerService"
android:exported="true" />
Also update all your gradle dependency.
I have updated following dependency as per requirement.
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.13.2'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test:runner:1.4.0'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.4.0'
implementation 'com.razorpay:checkout:1.6.15'
Hope it will help you as well.

I happen to know that issue in the android 12 specifically. There is already a bug raised in Android SDK. In the solution of your problem here is a file you can add in android studio and run the method.
Then run the def methods and try to build. It is tried and tested working method.
Solution 13:[13]
If you sure about adding exported to every element in manifest file and still got this error, simply :
- switch to project directory and open merged manifest file in app\build\intermediates\merged_manifest
- search for any component that contains intent-filter and didn't have exported attribute
- override this component in your manifest file by copy past it to your main manifest file
tip: if you can't find merged file because it's already failed to generate it .temporary downgrade to targetSdkVersion 30 and compileSdkVersion 30 and build project to generate this file and then follow above steps and then upgrade to 31 (android 12)
Solution 14:[14]
Found this solution here, works for me. This is given by official razorpay github. They've mentioned they'll fix it in next release.
<receiver
android:name="com.razorpay.RzpTokenReceiver"
android:exported="false">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="rzp.device_token.share" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<activity
android:name="com.razorpay.CheckoutActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
android:exported="true"
android:theme="@style/CheckoutTheme">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<data
android:host="rzp.io"
android:scheme="io.rzp" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>

if you are using flutter , upgrading flutter_local_notifications to the latest version (now is 9.3.2) may solve this error..

My problem was that we were using older hilt version 2.38.1:
"com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.38.1"
"com.google.dagger:hilt-android-gradle-plugin:2.38.1"
"com.google.dagger:hilt-android-compiler:2.38.1"
"com.google.dagger:hilt-android-testing:2.38.1"
"com.google.dagger:hilt-android-testing:2.38.1" under the hood depends on core testing library 1.3.0, which does set exported properties.
To fix this, make sure you are using latest dagger hilt version (2.40.5 works):
"com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.40.5"
"com.google.dagger:hilt-android-gradle-plugin:2.40.5"
"com.google.dagger:hilt-android-compiler:2.40.5"
"com.google.dagger:hilt-android-testing:2.40.5"

Case 1: No submodules or libraries
This issue started with SDK 31. If you don't have any libraries or submodules add
android:exported="true" <!-- or false as required -->
You can right click on the tag and Android Studio will suggest you.
Case 2: With submodules or libraries
If you have other libraries or modules that you are importing, you have to override them too. For that see the tab 'Merged Manifest'. OR You can open
<ProjectRoot>/app/build/intermediates/merged_manifest/<your flavor>/AndroidManifest.xml
in an editor. I prefer the second method as Merged manifest doesn't allow to search from Android Studio.
- Copy <activity>, <receiver> or any others causing build errors.
- Paste them to Main Manifest
- Add android:exported="true" or android:exported="false" as required
- Rebuild
Case 3: If None of the above works
If none of the above works, you will have to wait until your library provider makes necessary changes. Until they make changes, you may revert SDK version to 30 or lower. Lowering sdk should fix the issue temporarily.
Solution 18:[18]
I was getting this error thrown what targeting sdk 31 and found that the solution was in my build.gradle file. I was using implementation on my compose test dependency instead of testImplementation.
Seems unrelated I know but when you look at your merge manifest with a misused test dependency you will see tags added for InstrumentedActivity which will be missing the exported=true field.
Solution 19:[19]
Just update all your dependencies, it should work
Solution 20:[20]
Quoting official docs about this behavior change in android 12, you should look for activities containing intent-filter and those are the ones that need to be updated by setting explicitly the value of android:exported.
Build logs should point exactly to the activity with undeclared exported flag that stopped your build. You should see something like this between the last lines of the console's output of install gradle's commands:
> java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.builder.testing.api.DeviceException: com.android.ddmlib.InstallException: INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED: Failed parse during installPackageLI: /data/app/xxxxx.tmp/base.apk (at Binary XML file line #129): YOUR.FULLY.QUALIFIED.NAME.FAILING.ACTIVITY: Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) requires that an explicit value for android:exported be defined when intent filters are present
YOUR.FULLY.QUALIFIED.NAME.FAILING.ACTIVITY should point you to the specific activity that is blocking your build.
Here is also the link to the implications of setting android:exported.
Solution 21:[21]
For people with problems still using Flutter, in addition to putting exported=true in the application's <activity, you need to put it in the <activity of the installed plugins. As I use the simpleauthflutter package, it generates an activity in androidmanifest and I put exported=true. That's the only way to work. It will look like this:
