After Google Play’s policy update (31 August 2023), I can not upload my app AAB package because UE 4.27.2 is not updating the relevant conditions:
Error on Google Play Console: “You uploaded an APK or Android App Bundle which has an activity, activity alias, service or broadcast receiver with intent filter, but without ‘android:exported’ property set. This file can’t be installed on Android 12 or higher. See: Behavior changes: Apps targeting Android 12 | Android Developers”
Even though I have updated the Manifest, Application and GameActivity nodes in the Advanced APK Packaging settings, Google Play Console continually gives the same error as above.
When trying to generate an AAB bundle in Android Studio, after updating the intent filters manually, the package is flagged by Google Play as being too large.
Can someone explain how to get around this issue? It seems that 4.27.2 is not optimized for Google Play’s new policies. Is this correct?
