1) Adding a "." to a manifest line
2) Deleting Line: CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.Firebase)
3) After trying without results I return the manifest to its original state (add added)
Here is the first part of the app

Hi All, I tested the firebase auth sample, it worked fine in android 12, the difference with my app manifest is in this
Sample FirebaseAuth Working
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="5" android:targetSdkVersion="29"/>
My App Manifest Error
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="5" android:targetSdkVersion="31"/>ts

I changed to 5 and 29 and My App is working fine in Android 12 devices, My concern is to learn about this issue is related to google is upgrading to API 33 in a couple of months, I anyone have this issue, welcome to share thoughts.

Best Regards
