Android manifest for [Qt5.15] SDK31+

[Nimaktc]

Hi,

I am having trouble converting my manifest to meet requirements for google playstore as I am not having "android:exported" yet in my manifest file.

As far as I can see, I need to add a service section to the manifest which has this entity android exported. But I have no idea what to do with the application section.

Can someone please help me out with this ? This is the current manifest I am using. The app does not run in the background.

Thanks in advance.
