@fkrein1 any update on this ? having same issue

[akilamist]

just found solution if you are running on Expo follow this steps

create withCustomAndroidManifest inside root of your project

// withCustomAndroidManifest.js
const { withAndroidManifest } = require('@expo/config-plugins');

module.exports = function withCustomAndroidManifest(config) {
  return withAndroidManifest(config, async (config) => {
    const androidManifest = config.modResults;
    const manifest = androidManifest.manifest;
    
    // Ensure xmlns:tools is present in the <manifest> tag
    if (!manifest.$['xmlns:tools']) {
      manifest.$['xmlns:tools'] = 'http://schemas.android.com/tools';
    }

    const application = manifest.application[0];

    // Add tools:replace attribute for dataExtractionRules and fullBackupContent
    application['$']['tools:replace'] = 'android:dataExtractionRules, android:fullBackupContent';

    // Set dataExtractionRules and fullBackupContent as attributes within <application>
    application['$']['android:dataExtractionRules'] = '@xml/secure_store_data_extraction_rules';
    application['$']['android:fullBackupContent'] = '@xml/secure_store_backup_rules';

    return config;
  });
};

Add the Custom Plugin to app.json: Modify app.json to include the new custom plugin:

{
  "expo": {
    ...
    "plugins": [
      "./withCustomAndroidManifest",
      ...
    ]
  }
}

run prebuild and Manifest.xml will be changed

if you are on bare react native project just add these to Manifest XML

tools:replace="android:dataExtractionRules, android:fullBackupContent"

@akilamist thanks! It worked here as well.
I hope AppsFlyerSDK adds this config change to their plugin in a new release.

@al-af

Maybe instead of just closing this you could integrate it into the SDK or at the very least add this to the docs. Would have saved me a quite a few hours of work. Its a legitimate issue that I am pretty sure everyone will hit if they are using recent versions.

Why is this closed, @al-af?
