   cordova-android has the patch which landed in version [10.1.2](https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/master/RELEASENOTES.md#1012-apr-11-2022) for the `android:exported`.
   
   Cordova-android will manage the main activity, but if third-party plugins or libraries provides their own activities that may need to be updated as well. In those cases, the plugin maintainers needs to update their plugins to use the `android:exported` on the activities they include.
   
   The particular duplicate error is because you have two `<activity>` tags with the same `android:name` attribute. This could be caused by a conflict between your `<edit-config>` rules and (presumably) the plugin that adds these activity entries. If the plugin maintainers are unable or otherwise unwilling to update their plugins, it may be best to fork the plugin if their license allows it. Alternatively you can try writing a [hook](https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/11.x/guide/appdev/hooks/index.html) instead of using `<edit-config>` that manipulates the `AndroidManifest`. 
   
   There are several known issues on `<edit-config>` that makes it very difficult to use, unfortunately.
