Hi,

Crashlytics is reporting instances of RuntimeException DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION. See stacktrace below:

Caused by java.lang.RuntimeException: Permission com.meraki.sm.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION is required by your application to receive broadcasts, please add it to your manifest

This is caused by using ContextCompat.registerReceiver with the flag: ContextCompat.RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED.

Example:

ContextCompat.registerReceiver(this, receiver, filters, ContextCompat.RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED);

The app is targeting Android 14, and the devices that are effected are all on Android 12.

Device models include:

• Moto G Stylus 5G
• Moto G22
• Moto G(60)
• Pixel 3
• Pixel 3a
• Cat S75
• Lenovo Tab M10 (3rd Gen)

We have not been able to reproduce the issue on our end. However, we observed DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION is part of the manifest but is not granted (i.e. granted=false). How can this permission be granted? I assume it's out of our control since the permission was added via androix.core:core-ktx. We are on androidx.core:core-ktx:1.10.1.
