Remove android:fullBackupContent from AndroidManifest.xml

[mikaelbartlett]

I get a merge error with other libraries that also contains this.

Please remove this as the app should decide how to handle backup.

Hi @mikaelbartlett, can you please let us know with which library it conflicts?

Hi @roeeba

https://github.com/pusher/push-notifications-android/issues/89 here's the link to the other library.

Thanks, @mikaelbartlett. I'm assigning it to our mobile engineer to further investigate.

We run into similar issues where we get a lint error due AndroidManifest not respecting android 12 changes.

/root/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/6a5afdf55df46ace7be55e9720e00da9/transformed/cloudinary-android-core-2.3.0/AndroidManifest.xml:11: Error: Missing <full-backup-content> resource [DataExtractionRules]
    <application android:fullBackupContent="@xml/backup_config" />
                                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   Explanation for issues of type "DataExtractionRules":
   Before Android 12, the attributes android:allowBackup and
   android:fullBackupContent were used to configure all forms of backup,
   including cloud backups, device-to-device transfers and adb backup.
   In Android 12 and higher, these attributes have been deprecated and will
   only apply to cloud backups. You should instead use the attribute
   android:dataExtractionRules, specifying an @xml resource that configures
   which files to back up, for cloud backups and for device-to-device
   transfers, separately. If your minSdkVersion supports older versions,
   you'll still want to specify an android:fullBackupContent resource if the
   default behavior is not right for your app.

Hi @waliahimanshu,

I just want to update you that this was fixed in the Android SDK 2.3.1 version. I will go ahead and close this for now. Do let us know if you have any issues.

Thanks
