When I am running to make the Apk in GitHub I got the error. As I am building the Apk in GitHub. There is no way to define something inside manifest as it is building every time fresh. All I can do is inside the Config.Xml file. After Adding android:exported="false" to it, also getting same error. Both images for this question reference attached here. GitHub Error and Config.Xml. Help will be appreciated.

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.

You can try like this in config.xml under android platform -

<edit-config
  file="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml"
  target="/manifest/application/activity[@android:name='MainActivity']"
  mode="merge">
    <activity android:exported="true"/>
</edit-config>

Make sure to target the file and the activity's name properly.

Due to merge mode, android:exported="true" will be added to target activity element. This will replace the values if the it is already exist in the target element.

    Didn't worked for me. if possible please write a full config from the upper snippet I will try it out with my code. – Kamli Mukharjee Aug 09 '21 at 07:20

    You can check the example mentioned [here](https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/10.x/plugin_ref/spec.html#edit-config) – Akshaya Jeevan Aug 09 '21 at 10:35

    from the mentioned link, what made it work for me was: Add xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" on root tag. – ezabaw Feb 22 '22 at 15:59
  • This answer worked for me. Just be sure to delete and re-install the platform again after adding that preference. – jkufrin Apr 01 '22 at 20:06

As the message is saying:

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.

To fix this I went to the platforms/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml and searched for all <intent-filter> tags.

Then I checked if their parent tag had the android:exported property and added it where it was missing by using <edit-config>.

In my case, the Social Sharing plugin was causing the problem, so I add this in my config.xml file.

<platform name="android">
  <edit-config file="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml" mode="merge" target="/manifest/application/receiver[@android:name='nl.xservices.plugins.ShareChooserPendingIntent']">
    <activity android:exported="true" />
  </edit-config>
  ...
</platform>

Solution found in here.

Build-tool 31.0.0 installed in virtual environment was causing this error. Adding this solution worked for me

  • name: Uninstall build-tool version 31.0.0 run: $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools/bin/sdkmanager --uninstall 'build-tools;31.0.0'

Also removed this

ionic cordova platform add android@latest

uses (cordova-android@10.0.1) and added this

ionic cordova platform add android uses (cordova-android@9.0.0)

As cordova-android@10.0.1 was also causing

app:compileReleaseJavaWithJavac FAILED

Modified Working Workflow:

runs-on: ubuntu-latest
   steps:
   - uses: actions/checkout@v2
   - uses: actions/setup-java@v2
     with:
      distribution: 'adopt' # See 'Supported distributions' for available options
      java-version: '8'
   - name: Use coturiv/setup-ionic
     uses: coturiv/setup-ionic@v1.0.4

   - name: Uninstall 31.0.0 Build tool
     run: $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools/bin/sdkmanager --uninstall 'build-tools;31.0.0'

   - name: Run cordova project tests
     run: |
       ionic start testapp blank --cordova --type angular --no-link --no-git --no-interactive --confirm
       cd testapp
       ionic cordova platform add android
       ionic cordova build android

I tried to change a lot of configurations, but update Gradle did the trick

sdk install gradle 7.5.1

For Capacitor ionic, I had to manually change the minCompileSDK at the following path from 31 to 30. C:\Users\yourUserFolder.gradle\caches\transforms-3\be06223ace9bb785a17b62c00389baa4\transformed\browser-1.4.0\META-INF\com\android\build\gradle\aar-metadata.properties

Please note that your path might not be exactly the same as mine, and this is not a fix but just to allow you to build your apk as you figure out a more permanent solution
