android:exported needs to be explicitly specified

[Anahita-Fakhravar]

What happened?

On iOS everything works fine.
When I build the app on Android I get the following errors under processDevelopmentDebugAndroidTestManifest: task:

android:exported needs to be explicitly specified for element <activity#androidx.test.core.app.InstrumentationActivityInvoker$BootstrapActivity>. Apps targeting Android 12 and higher are required to specify an explicit value for "android:exported when the corresponding component has an intent filter defined.
android:exported needs to be explicitly specified for element <activity#androidx.test.core.app.InstrumentationActivityInvoker$EmptyActivity>. 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.
android:exported needs to be explicitly specified for element <activity#androidx.test.core.app.InstrumentationActivityInvoker$EmptyFloatingActivity>. 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.

What was the expected behaviour?

Android app building should be done successfully.

Was it tested on latest Detox?

• I have tested this issue on the latest Detox release and it still reproduces.

Did your test throw out a timeout?

• I have followed the instructions under Identifying which synchronization mechanism causes us to wait too much.

Help us reproduce this issue!

Setup last version of Detox on a react native project. You will see the android build will fail.

In what environment did this happen?

Detox version: 20.25.1
React Native version: 0.73.6
Has Fabric (React Native's new rendering system) enabled: yes
Node version: 18.14.1
Device model: All Android emulators like Galaxy Nexus, Pixel Fold
Android version: 10, 12, 13 (Probably on all versions, I tried these 10,12 and 13)
Test-runner (select one): jest
