Xamarin: Issue when TargetSdkVersion set to API 31 in manifest

Question

By refer to Xamarin.Android 12.0 Release Notes, I set TargetFramework to Android 12 and I able to deploy project without any problem. However, I encountered following error when I set android:targetSdkVersion to API 31 in android manifest.

ADB0010: Mono.AndroidTools.InstallFailedException: Unexpected install output: Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED: Failed parse during installPackageLI: /data/app/vmdl204773411.tmp/base.apk (at Binary XML file line #84): com.urbanairship.accengage.PackageUpdatedReceiver: Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) requires that an explicit value for android:exported be defined when intent filters are present]

This happens only when android:targetSdkVersion set to 31 and deployed to physical device/emulator with android 12. I already added android:exported="true" to MainActivity class and classes that use intent filters. Could anyone advice me how to resolve this?

AndroidManifest.xml

      </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
  </application>
</manifest>

According to the error message, the PackageUpdatedReceiver in your project doesn't set a value for the android:exported. So you can try to set a value by the two following ways.

Set it in the attribute of the BroadCastReceiver:

[BroadcastReceiver(Exported = true)]

Set it into the application label in the AndroidManifest.xml:

Edit: For android 12, all the Services, BroadCastReceivers, Activity classes need to declare the value for the android:exported. So update the three part sdk to the last version.

Basically we use only 'intent-filters' and no 'BroadcastReceiver' in our project. And, we already added android:exported="true" to the classes that using intent-filters. It's strange that this issue happened only in physical devices/emulator with android 12 – Wei Loon Wong May 05 '22 at 04:35
But what the `com.urbanairship.accengage.PackageUpdatedReceiver` in the error message is? @WeiLoonWong – Liyun Zhang - MSFT May 05 '22 at 05:38
Is it a service , a BroadcastReceiver or a activity? If so, it also need to add the `android:exported="true"`. @Wei Loon Wong – Liyun Zhang - MSFT May 05 '22 at 05:41
urbanairship is a third-party Android SDK for pushing notification. – Wei Loon Wong May 05 '22 at 06:22
Can you provide the nuget package name? I will do a test on my device. In addition, it seems difficult to add `android:exported="true"` to a three party sdk. @WeiLoonWong – Liyun Zhang - MSFT May 05 '22 at 06:35
urbanairship.android.accengage, urbanairship.android.core, urbanairship.android.fcm These are 3 NuGet for Airship – Wei Loon Wong May 05 '22 at 06:38
Do you use the last version(16.1.1) of them? I had test it and there is no error.@WeiLoonWong – Liyun Zhang - MSFT May 05 '22 at 06:46
No luck, app crashed with edited answer above. I'll update the packages to latest version and test again – Wei Loon Wong May 05 '22 at 07:05
Does it work now?@WeiLoonWong – Liyun Zhang - MSFT May 05 '22 at 08:08
It works now after I update airship, firebase and GooglePlayServices nuget packages to latest version. – Wei Loon Wong May 06 '22 at 07:04
