I'm trying to build my Apache Cordova app for android and I face with this error. I found that android:exported="true" must be added to the activity attributes but since I am using many cordova-plugins which add different activity attribute to the AndroidManifest.xml it is impossible to change all of them manually. I want to know does anyone have any solution for this problem? Note: For using new plugins I cannot downgrade my sdk target version to 30 an I must use 31.
