I tried to install my application in an Android version 12. I added the android:exported for each activity, receiver and filters. This error occurs

Installation did not succeed.
The application could not be installed: INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED

List of apks:

Installation failed due to: 'Failed to commit install session 366841949 with command package install-commit 366841949.

This is the test AndroidManifest.XML file that causes the errors

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="androidx.test.core" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="14"

</manifest>

These are the test dependencies I’m using

debugImplementation 'androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.3.5'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.+'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.2'
androidTestImplementation('androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.4.0')
androidTestImplementation('androidx.test:runner:1.4.0')
androidTestImplementation('androidx.test:rules:1.4.0')

The problem occurs in the test package and its auto generated. How to fix it?

I tried multiple solutions to fix the problem but nothing seems to fix it.

These are some solutions I looked into but didn’t work for me.

Answer

The error was fixed by changing this dependency version androidx.fragment:fragment-testing

from version 1.3.5

debugImplementation 'androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.3.5'

to version 1.4.0

debugImplementation 'androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.4.0'
