Ionic email composer crash on android 11

Question

I had implemented the cordova-plugin-email-composer in my project and it works well before that but after upgrading to [email protected] the app crashed when trigger the this.emailcomposer.open(email).

Only android 11 was crashing and android 8 works fine. When I change back to [email protected], both android 8 and 11 works fine.

I found someone having the same problem. So I wonder is a bug or we need to write up something on the config.xml

I found the solution for the ionic email composer crashing issue. In the URL link below was the documentation for the changes in android 11.

Need to add the below code in the config.xml under android

<config-file parent="/manifest" target="AndroidManifest.xml" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
                    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION" />
                </config-file>
    <config-file parent="/manifest/queries" target="AndroidManifest.xml" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
                <package android:name="com.google.android.gm" />
                <package android:name="com.microsoft.office.outlook" />
                <package android:name="com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.mail" />
                <intent>
                    <action android:name="android.support.customtabs.action.CustomTabsService" />
                </intent>
            </config-file>
