Manifest merge error when updating my app to compileSdkVersion 31

[MerlijnClaeys]

I'm using this library in my android app. When upgrading the compileSdkVersion to 31 i get the following error:

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. See https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element#exported for details.

After doing some research i found the following stack overflow post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/69347425/12912676. After following what the comment I linked to suggests, I found that this library has services, receivers and activities without the android:exported attribute in your manifest.

I was able to workaround this issue by overriding the receiver, service or activity in my own android manifest and adding the android:exported and tools:node="merge" attribute to it.

<receiver android:name="com.pax.market.android.app.sdk.DownloadParamReceiver" android:exported="false" tools:node="merge" />

But i would like to see this changed in this library so I don't have to do this. By adding the android:exported="true|false" to your services, receivers and activities in your manifest should resolve the issues on my side.

Thanks in advance.
Feel free to ask for more info if you need it.
