Detox: unable to build android with react native 0.71.1, got error `android:exported needs to be explicitly specified for element `
What happened?
setup android test on a react native (version 0.71.1) app following the instructions. when building the android app regularly, it does not throw this error. ios test works fine as well. keep getting error:
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. See https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element#exported for details.
What was the expected behaviour?
should not throw above error
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!

This is caused by
android.test:core< v1.4.0.Adding this to
android/app/build.gradlefixes for me :This is still an issue 20.11.1
edit: I cannot see it stated I the original description, however we had Fabric and the new RN Arch enabled. We disabled it and for us this issue then stopped.
