Missing android:exported Declaration
Components with intent-filters must explicitly declare android:exported (required for Android 12+ / API 31+). Activities, services, receivers, providers, and activity-aliases that declare intent-filters without an explicit exported attribute will cause install failures on Android 12 and higher.
Quick Fix
Add android:exported="true" if the component needs to be accessible from other apps, or android:exported="false" if it should only be used internally. This is required for apps targeting Android 12 (API 31) and higher.
