Recently we are preparing for Android 12 and we updated our compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion to 31 After updating to 31, TWA is unable to be launched. Error given is
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: xxx.twa: Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) requires that one of FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_MUTABLE be specified when creating a PendingIntent.
Strongly consider using FLAG_IMMUTABLE, only use FLAG_MUTABLE if some functionality depends on the PendingIntent being mutable, e.g. if it needs to be used with inline replies or bubbles.

I tried to find an updated version of com.google.androidbrowserhelper but is unable to find any. I am currently using implementation 'com.google.androidbrowserhelper:androidbrowserhelper:2.2.2'
Have anyone encounter this and is able to help?
This is a known issue and needs changes on the underlying androidx.browser library. The changes are in 1.4.0-rc1, which should go stable in the next weeks. Another change was required in android-browser-helper and once the change to androidx.browser is out, we'll release an update that will work well with targetSdk 31.
You could use the release-candidate version of android.browser and build your own android-browser-helper, but I'd recommend waiting for the production versions to upgrade to target SDK 31.
