Showing "Manifest merge failed error"

[Hari-krish-v]

When I installed tipsi-stipe package and run the project I get the below error message "Manifest merger failed : android:exported needs to be explicitly specified for . 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"

Added android:exported="true" on Main/AndroidManifest.xml file inside activity tag

Below are the versions details. "react": "17.0.2", "react-native": "0.68.0", "tipsi-stripe": "^9.2.0"

    buildToolsVersion = "31.0.0"
    minSdkVersion = 21
    compileSdkVersion = 31
    targetSdkVersion = 31
    ndkVersion = "21.4.7075529"

@Hari-krish-v Have you managed to fix it?

[imariic]

Okay, I've managed to fix it by using tipsi-stripe:9.0.0

[Hari-krish-v]

I have updated to the latest version then also it showing the same error "Manifest merge failed"

@Hari-krish-v I added this as a workaround to my AndroidManifest.xml

 <activity
      android:name="com.stripe.android.payments.StripeBrowserLauncherActivity" android:exported="true" 
       tools:node="merge"/>

You are a lifesaver bro, I was struggling to fix this for the last 4 days. Your solution worked. Thank you.

@Hari-krish-v I added this as a workaround to my AndroidManifest.xml

 <activity
      android:name="com.stripe.android.payments.StripeBrowserLauncherActivity" android:exported="true" 
       tools:node="merge"/>

I only had to add the xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" into my AndroidManifest.xml and it worked just perfect! Thanks @felexx90 you saved me a lot of time.

Closing this ticket, so that new users don't think this project is still active.

Stripe does not want you using this, and you will find pain if you do; Please migrate to the official @stripe/stripe-react-native package, for your user's safety, and your developer's sanity!

I was facing the same error and tried this

<activity android:name="com.stripe.android.payments.StripeBrowserLauncherActivity" android:exported="true" tools:node="merge"/>

But then got another error, after some research found the solution, which was same above line of code but without "tools:node="merge"",

Like this

<activity android:name="com.stripe.android.payments.StripeBrowserLauncherActivity" android:exported="true" />

I can’t emphasize enough how you should move off of tipsi-stripe @ShoaibVirk008. This is a security vulnerability, and I hope I never again use an app that still uses tipsi-stripe today, as of 2023.
