React Native Android 12 - Manifest merge failed-CodePudding

React native app not getting installed in Android 12 devices. It throws Manifest merge failed error while running the application on device. I saw many people facing this issue and adding "android:exported" in manifest resolves it for them but for me after adding "android:exported" does not resolves the issue.

I have added it in all the activities, receivers and services. Tried multiple values for that as well but the issue still persists. I have followed all the steps asked in the similar questions but none of them seems working for me.

These are the similar questions that I already checked.

Manifest merger failed targeting Android 12 Android build failed, after trying to fix an error about targeting Android 12 Manifest merger failed with multiple errors | Android 12 and higher are required to specify an explicit value for `android:exported` Manifest merger failed with multiple errors Android studio React native https://github.com/zo0r/react-native-push-notification/issues/2261

I'm getting this error "INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED" when running the build on android device with react-native run-android

java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.builder.testing.api.DeviceException: com.android.ddmlib.InstallException: INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED: Failed parse during installPackageLI: /data/app/vmdl75501393.tmp/base.apk (at Binary XML file line #209): com.google.android.gms.measurement.AppMeasurementInstallReferrerReceiver: Targeting S (version 31 and above) requires that an explicit value for android:exported be defined when intent filters are present

and "There was a problem parsing a package" when installing the built apk.

Here are the Manifest and Gradle files.

add in Application in AndroidManifest.xml

tools:replace="android:allowBackup,icon,label,name,theme,roundIcon"

CodePudding user response：

You need to add android:exported in AndroidManifest.xml of other packages as well, not only to main AndroidManifest.xml. So open Find in Files dialog(CMD Shift F) and then search <activity, there you can add android:exported.
