Manifest merger failed : android:exported needs to be explicitly specified for element

Question

Merging Errors: Error: android:exported needs to be explicitly specified for element <activity#com.instabug.bug.view.reporting.ReportingContainerActivity>. Apps targeting Android 12 and higher are required to specify an explicit value for android:exported when the corresponding component has an intent filter defined. See https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element#exported for details

Welcome to StackOverFlow, this is not the appropriate format for asking a question. Please provide more background, what you are trying to do, show us some code, what error you are getting and where. Basically, from what I read here, you are missing a android:exported tag in your Activity tag — Dan Baruch, Mar 17 '22 at 08:03
Update your version of Instabug, they [fixed this already](https://github.com/Instabug/Instabug-Android/issues/391) (if you haven't already...) — Tyler V, Jul 27 '22 at 04:51

In your manifest file(AndroidManifest.xml), add android:exported="true" inside your ReportingContainerActivity's activity tag.
