PendingIntent with unspecified mutability

Hey friends, does anyone know what it could be? When uploading to the Play Store, I’m receiving 4 warnings about PendingIntent with unspecified mutability.

I’ve already updated all my plugins, I’m on the latest version of Ionic and Capacitor, and I still have the problem.

The Android lint doesn’t point out this error either, which would be:
Warning: Missing PendingIntent mutability flag [UnspecifiedImmutableFlag]

Could anyone give me some help?

I’m building with --prod also.

I would start by updating your @awesome-cordova-plugins plugins. You are on v5 when v6 is the latest.

@awesome-cordova-plugins are just typescript wrappers for Cordova plugins, while it’s recommended to have them up to date, there is no native code on them that could cause those warnings.

Good point :grin:

It’s probably related to cordova-plugin-file-opener2 then. The repo says the following (note the Android >= 11 is not supported):

This plugin was originally built back in 2013 to provide an easy way to open files in Cordova applications. Since 2018 the plugin has not been actively maintained, with only the occaisional release to support updates from the community. Due to signficant changes in the way that Android handles permissions from version 11 onwards, this plugin does not work with Android 11 or later and would require significant changes to make this happen.

I update and still with the error :frowning:

About cordova-plugin-file-opener2 it’s still working on API 34, but the error is not from it I guess.

Well then that leaves capacitor-native-biometric LOL. Looking at the issues, it doesn’t support Capacitor 5 or 6.

Capgo forked it giving support - Capacitor 5 support · Issue #93 · epicshaggy/capacitor-native-biometric · GitHub

Or you could try out GitHub - aparajita/capacitor-biometric-auth: Easy access to native biometric auth APIs on iOS and Android.

I already checked those and don’t have PendingIntents

I wasn’t using the capacitor-native-biometric, I removed it and the problem continued.

I don’t know what else to do, I didn’t find anything using these Intents, it seems like a Goole Play Console joke.
