Android App crashes when Targeting to Android 12

Question

My App crashed when targeting to Android 12

Here is the crash log:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create service com.kdr.snipping.CheckRecentRun: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: com.kdr.snipping: Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) requires that one of FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_MUTABLE be specified when creating a PendingIntent.
    Strongly consider using FLAG_IMMUTABLE, only use FLAG_MUTABLE if some functionality depends on the PendingIntent being mutable, e.g. if it needs to be used with inline replies or bubbles.

With the introduction of Android 12, you now have to set either the flag PendingIntent.FLAG_IMMUTABLE or PendingIntent.FLAG_MUTABLE.

PendingIntent.getActivity(context, requestCode, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_IMMUTABLE)

or

PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 1337, openAppIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_IMMUTABLE or PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT)
