Android:exported property issue

Ionic Framework Ionic Angular
#1

I rebuilt my old ionic 5 cordova application but when I upload file on google platform, I receive this error:

You uploaded an APK or Android App Bundle which has an activity, activity alias, service or broadcast receiver with intent filter, but without 'android:exported' property set. This file can't be installed on Android 12 or higher. See: developer.android.com/about/versions/12/behavior-changes-12#exported

I don’t understand how solve this issue

Could you please help me?

Thanks

If you target SDK 32, all activities, activity aliases, services or broadcast receivers with intent filter need to have “android:exported” set to true or false.
So some plugin you are using is defining one of those and have not updated the plugin to include the android:exported part.
You’ll have to search the plugin and update it yourself.

All’interno della cartella plugin ho trovato questo snippet

plugins\cordova-plugin-x-socialsharing\plugin.xml

<config-file target="AndroidManifest.xml" parent="/*/application">
  <receiver android:name="nl.xservices.plugins.ShareChooserPendingIntent" android:enabled="true" android:exported="true">
    <intent-filter>
      <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND"/>
    </intent-filter>
  </receiver>
</config-file>

come posso aggiornarlo?
