msfvenom - parameter 'android:exported="true"' is missing for trojan definition - installation fails on android

[RoseDeSable]

Hi, I build the trojan meterpreter with msfvenom in an app. If I try to install this new app by "adb install" on android, I receive the following message:

adb: failed to install Calculator_8.6 (612662282)_APKPure_meterpreter.apk: Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED: Failed parse during installPackageLI: /data/app/vmdl1440181840.tmp/base.apk (at Binary XML file line 0000079): com.google.android.calculator.nnvlj.Xnpjr: Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) requires that an explicit value for android:exported be defined when intent filters are present]

If I upload the app on my android and try to install it directly: the installation also fails.

The error obviously is, that in the manifest the additional entry 'android:exported="true"' is missing on this location:

<receiver android:label="Xnpjr" android:name="com.google.android.calculator.nnvlj.Xnpjr">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

I can't analyse this more nearer, because I can de-compile but not compile the app with apktool. But this also is the case, if i de-compile and try to compile the original app without the trojan.

used versions:

• metasploit-framework 6.4.9-0kali1
• apktool 2.9.3 <== is used by path definition in msfvenom

apk
