Hi,

Today I got this error that I never got before :
Error from Companion: edu.mit.appinventor.aicompanion3: One of RECEIVER_EXPORTED or RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED should be specified when a receiver isn't being registered exclusively for system broadcast

I have absolutely no Idea where this is come from
I found that a new security requirement on android 14 : android - One of RECEIVER_EXPORTED or RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED should be specified when a receiver isn't being registered exclusively for system broadcasts - Stack Overflow

But I have no idea how I can resolve this issue,

Thanks a lot for your help

Which extensions are you using, you either need the latest versions or one/more of them has not yet been updated to cope with API 34 / Android 14

Also you could have searched the community for this.

The bug come from the BluetoothLE extension.
I'm already on the last version of the extension :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

Is that version 20240822 ?

You might also need to try an updated companion:

I'm really sorry, I made a mistake. I tried to remove the BluetoothLE extension from my app, but the bug was still there. Then, I removed the only other extension I have (NotificationStyle), and the bug disappeared. So there's nothing wrong with BluetoothLE; the issue is with NotificationStyle. I'm going to investigate further in this direction and check forums about that.

Are you using the latest version?

Oh, No
I looked for the latest version, but I never found this one.
It's 1.8, and I was and 1.7, and they talk about my issue so that probably the solution !
Thank you very much for all your help from both of you

Have a really nice day

The BLE extension doesn't use receivers, so I don't think that's it.

I have the same problem. Error from Companion: edu.mit.appinventor.aicompanion3: One of RECEIVER_EXPORTED or RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED should be specified when a receiver isn't being registered exclusively for system broadcasts. All my extensuons are the latest versions except for on called "Get Apk" by "atomdeveloper" but i cant find the actual aix file online, i dont know if its the latest version. Can i get help with this? Thanks

That extension might not work anymore
What exactly is it doing? You might want to use an alternative

It was supposed to get an apk file from an installed app on the users phone, but im not sure if that is the cause of the error

Try a simple test app, which only uses that extension to find it out

After testing, these are the 2 extensions causing the problem:
