Is this protect EOL, not compatible with Android API 31+

[russmenum]

As of this month, all new Android apps must target API 31

compileSdkVersion = 31
targetSdkVersion = 31

As of Nov 2022, All Android Apps must (SEE HERE)

This change requires the android:exported="true" or android:exported="false" to be defined. If it is not the app can not be installed.

When you set API 31 you get an ERROR attributed to this library.

Installation did not succeed.
The application could not be installed: INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED

List of apks:
[0] '/Users/[USERNAME]/github/[APP]/android/app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk'
Installation failed due to: 'Failed to commit install session 1735472622 with command cmd package install-commit 1735472622.

I am digging into the code, but not seeing what lines need to change for this library, sorry. I just know if there is not a patch for this in the next 60 days no one can use this for an RN Android App anymore

@russmenum try this:

[russmenum]

@claudiozam So this is EOL and your suggestion is to move to that new library that went free you reference? Not even using fire base right now, really just the local notifications

[claudiozam]

@russmenum i don't see another option (production ready) for the moment. Do you have one?

[russmenum]

@claudiozam I guess I need to start looking, we only have a few months. My hope was there was an update or patch pending for this project

We're facing a similar issue and the requirement to target SDK version 31. Is this project really dead @wixmobile?

[russmenum]

@RosenTomov does not look like we are getting any news on this this week, and with API 33 changes coming soon that is also a concern.

Alternatives if this is EOL welcome. Have not had time to look at the one already posted, but at glance it looked like a paid service. Maybe forking this project is also an option, if I can figure out what the heck needs to be updated

Add <service android:name="com.wix.reactnativenotifications.xxxx" android:exported="true" /> in the /main/AndroidManifest.xml you can do that for any dependency which doesn't have explicit exported flag

[russmenum]

@max-usenko-aura if I add

<service android:name="com.wix.reactnativenotifications.fcm.FcmInstanceIdListenerService" android:exported="true" />

The error goes away, but the resulting "launched" app just crashes at load on the API 31 simulator. Will run fine on API 30 simulator. No error I can see in debug launch, any idea? Not even sure it is this library, but something is not happy

Hello everyone,

not sure if this helps; in our project, we have these settings (in file build.gradle), and everything works fine (updating our existing app, not publishing a new one):

buildscript { ext { buildToolsVersion = "30.0.2" minSdkVersion = 21 compileSdkVersion = 31 targetSdkVersion = 31 ndkVersion = "20.1.5948944" androidXAnnotation = "1.2.0" androidXBrowser = "1.4.0" } repositories { google() jcenter() } dependencies { classpath('com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.0') classpath('com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.10') } }

Is that running on an API 31 simulator?
