The app crashes during the SMS auto-verify call on Android 14 when I change the targetSdkVersion to 34

The app crashes during the SMS auto-verify call on Android 14 when I change the targetSdkVersion to 34. I want to change it to 34 to upload it to the play console.

Error logs:

Steps to reproduce Change the targetSdkVersion in build.gradle to 34.

use this plugin(sms_autofill: ^2.3.0) for sms auto fill.

Expected results It should fetch the OTP code from the message.

Actual results App crashes when moving to the verify otp screen.

Solution

you need to explicitly add the android:exported attribute in your AndroidManifest.xml for the BroadcastReceiver.

  <receiver
    android:name=".YourReceiver"
    android:exported="false">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.example.MY_ACTION" />
    </intent-filter>
  </receiver>

Or update

from (sms_autofill: ^2.3.0) to (sms_autofill: ^2.4.0)
