Try add android: exported to all of your activities if you are targeting android 12. Even if you don't want to export it add android: export = "false".

This issue can be with external libraries. Just wait when libraries will be updated or delete these libraries from project. Or you can try search in project and find which library uses intent. And use manifest merge attribute to add exported to external library. https://android-doc.github.io/tools/building/manifest-merge.html
