Issue with Manifest Merger

[vladaman]

Compiling project for SDK 31 with gradle 7.0 reports following issue:

app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml 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.

Same for me targeting android 12: Manifest merger failed : 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.

Add this to your AndroidManifest.xml as a temporary workaround:

<activity 
    android:name="net.openid.appauth.RedirectUriReceiverActivity" 
    tools:node="merge" 
    android:exported="true" />

workaround does't work for me.. i have one activity in my codebase.. so.. when add sumup dependency .. there is manifest merged problem. i hate it but i have to use targetSdk 30 👎

Same issue here it's impossible to use sumump with android targetSdk 31 which is required for our application. When will you update the manifest ? It's a really simple action. Workaround is not working for me. It's not serious for a business application especially since the problem has been reported for a while

The workaround worked for me, just had to add this line to my manifest element.

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

adding

  <activity
          android:name="net.openid.appauth.RedirectUriReceiverActivity"
          tools:replace="android:exported"
          android:exported="false">
  </activity>

to my AndroidManifest worked (inside <application>...</application>)

Since android:exported is not defined in the original manifest file, I assume the default value "false"

This solution works for me (without the need to import auth-api-impl as suggested by Android studio) so thanks a lot.
