[Android 14] Crash Exception - RECEIVER_EXPORTED or RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED is required

Fix first: upgrade React Native Purchases to 6.2.1 or newer. Android 14 requires RECEIVEREXPORTED or RECEIVERNOT_EXPORTED when registering a broadcast receiver, and the SDK fixed it at 6.2.1.

Fatal Exception: java.lang.SecurityException: com.my-test-app.app:
One of RECEIVER_EXPORTED or RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED should be specified
when a receiver isn't being registered exclusively for system broadcasts

1. Upgrade react-native-purchases to 6.2.1 or newer.
2. Ship it and watch crash reports. Expected: the SecurityException crashes stop on Android 14 devices.

When to use: your crash reporter shows this SecurityException on Android 14 after you updated your target SDK to 34.

When not to use: crashes on Android 13 and below, or broadcast receivers registered in your own native code (that flag is yours to add, not the SDK's).

Compatibility: React Native Purchases 6.2.1+, Android 14 (SDK 34).

Variants:

• "RECEIVER_EXPORTED React Native Purchases"
• "android 14 purchases crash SecurityException"
• "one of RECEIVEREXPORTED or RECEIVERNOT_EXPORTED should be specified react native"

Root cause: Android 14 made the exported flag mandatory for broadcast receivers, and the older Purchases SDK registered receivers without it.

Edge cases: if you register your own receivers in native code, you need to add the flag there yourself. The SDK upgrade only fixes the SDK's own receivers.

In gh:RevenueCat/react-native-purchases#670 (https://github.com/RevenueCat/react-native-purchases/issues/670), the reporter ran into this: Hello everyone! Since last week, we updated our android sdk to 34, to support Android 14, and we are getting some crashes on firebase: Fatal Exception: java.lang.SecurityException: com.my-test-app.app: One of RECEIVER_EXPORTED or RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED should be specified when a receiver isn't being registered exclusively for system broadcasts at android.os.Parcel.createExceptionOrNull(Parcel.java:3057) at android.os.Parcel.createException(Parcel.java:3041) at android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:3024) at android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:2966) at... The verified resolution: Upgrade React Native Purchases to 6.2.1 or newer. Android 14 requires RECEIVEREXPORTED or RECEIVERNOT_EXPORTED` when registering a broadcast receiver, and the crash was fixed in the SDK at 6.2.1. If you target SDK 34 / Android 14, staying on an older Purchases version keeps crashing; updating is the fix.
