Not the same exact error, [but similar issue](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/ue-4-27-2-how-to-build-for-target-sdk-33-or-34/1371642/3).

in my case, I migrated from unreal 4.27 to 5.3, and in engine 4.27, I had to manually add this line to project settings under `extra tags for game activity` due to some new play store policy:

> android:exported=“true”

After migrating, seems like UE 5.3 adds this tag itself, so adding it manually made it `duplicate`. Simply remove it from the Project Settings → Extra Tags for GameActivity.

Otherwise, if you haven’t defined any extra tags in your project settings, it would be best to check plugins and their UPL/APL XML files to make sure they aren’t adding this tag manually either.
