How to add exported label in manifest when there is no activity tag in Android Studio?

Question

in my Manifets.xml file I have no <activity> tag and I am trying to add the exported = true but I don't know how. Is there a way? Here is my manifest:

<manifest
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        package="com.app.travel">

    <application
            android:name="com.app.travel.App"
            android:allowBackup="false"
            android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
            android:theme="@style/TravelAppTheme"
            tools:ignore="GoogleAppIndexingWarning"/>
</manifest>

EDIT:

The reason I want to add exported in my Manifest is because when I try to apload the . aab file in Google Play Console it gives me the following error: "You uploaded an APK or Android App Bundle File that has an activity, an activity alias, a service, or a transmission with a intent filter, but the android: exported property is not configured. This file cannot be installed on Android 12 or later. See: developer.android.com/about/versions/12/behavior-changes-12#exported"

Any help will be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

As per https://stackoverflow.com/a/20533294/13373270 , every Activity must be registered in your manifest. So your first step is to resolve this error.

See the documentation ( https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-intro ) for the minimal content to register in your manifest.
