if we change export="true" app linking working fine in android 12 also if we change export ="false" app linking not working

Answer 1

The export property makes your activity visible to other apps, and also makes it visible to linking. If you have any activity that needs to be exposed via deep linking or have intent filters other apps can use, those activities need to have export="true'. This is intended behavior.
