android:exported required when intent filters are present in Manifest - Android 12

[javidran]

Describe the bug: When the app targets API 30, the next error occurs when executing the app:

Error: INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED: Failed parse during installPackageLI: /data/app/vmdl211025264.tmp/base.apk (at Binary XML file line #97): com.microsoft.intune.mam.client.service.MAMBackgroundReceiver: Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) requires that an explicit value for android:exported be defined when intent filters are present'

To Reproduce

1. Include intune aar package on the app dependencies.
2. Target API 31 on build.gradle
3. Execute App on Android 31 device/emulator.

Expected behavior: The expected behavior is that the app at least initiates correctly.

Screenshots and logs:

• If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem. The log is enough.
• If your app is experiencing an issue during build, do you have error logs? None
• If your app is experiencing an issue post build, do you have app logs for the crash itself? The errores appears when installing the app on the device:

  Error: INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED: Failed parse during installPackageLI: /data/app/vmdl211025264.tmp/base.apk (at Binary XML file line #97): com.microsoft.intune.mam.client.service.MAMBackgroundReceiver: Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) requires that an explicit value for android:exported be defined when intent filters are present'

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

Intune App SDK for Android (please complete the following information):

• What version of the Intune SDK are you using? Are you using the latest version? Using version 7.0.1. We tried 7.6.0 too with the same result.
• What platform is your app based in (Java, Xamarin based, Cordova, etc)? Java
• For errors during build, does the app build without Intune SDK integration? Yes
• For errors post build, does the app launch without being Intune SDK integrated? Yes
• Who is the customer? Caixabank
• Do you see a trend with it only being reproduced on a specific device? Every device running Android 12+

Additional context: This bug is related with one of the Android 12 behavior changes listed on the official Android 12 Beta website: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/12/behavior-changes-12#exported

Exported attributes are now mandatory to be declared for every intent-filter. We updated the ones included in our app, but the libraries we are using also need to declare them if they use intent-filters too.

I think MS will publish new SDK version with Android 12 support.

[meghandaly]

The SDK does not currently support Android 12. A future release will have Android 12 support.

Is there an expected date for its release?

[meghandaly]

Aye, we are targeting mid-September!
