app rejected by the google play store

[HusamFathi]

my app works fine on google plays tore but when I want to use KivMob the store rejects to submit the update sand show the following log error

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: developer.android.com/about/versions/12/behavior-changes-12#exported

this some parts of my spec file

android.api = 32                   
requirements =kivmob, ...                                     
android.gradle_dependencies =  'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:10.2.0'                        

after some time of debuging i found that the issue in

android.gradle_dependencies = 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:10.2.0'

when I comment this line every thing works fine but of course the ads will not work
also, the debug version of my app works fine and show the ads as the only issue in the play store

after a long time of developing I tried more than one version up to 19.4.0 here and it's working fine now any my app shows ads in google store And when I use 19.9.x version and above the app crashes
and because I was out of time I've not tested the versions between 19.4.x and 19.9.x yet

so you may consider updating the readme file before closing this issue

Thanks for looking into it. Will update the README

At first I faced that issue: kivy/python-for-android#2551, then found this one. I think that in my case problem is exactly with ads and kivmob. I suppose including kivmob somehow had an effect on Android Manifest.
What should I do to get working ads in kivy app compatible with Android 12?

@legeartisgames Can you provide more information regarding your issue?

[legeartisgames]

@MichaelStott, I have rebuilt my app (with target api = 33) and again tried to upload it to Google Play Console. This time it has successfully uploaded! It isn't clear for me why nearly identical versions were so different in their reception by Console. I suppose Google have changed something on its side, and now everything is OK. If some problem like this (this problem somehow vanished away) arises, I will write here and give a more detailed account of the issue.

P.S. I will be very grateful to you if you include my game with KivMob-powered ads to the App Showcase of KivMob. I wrote about it in issue #111 (#111 (comment)) some time ago. As the name of developer, please, put the name of my account and link to it. This account was specially designed for the "Epidemy: The Outbreak".

Glad to hear you got your build working. 👍

As for your app, I'll be sure to include that in the README.
