I'm making a WebApp for Telegram - the same error, what should I do?

[PhunkyBob]

Our problem's solved. I decompiled and then modified the package.

Instead of decompile / compile / sign, you can:

• Fork the template at https://github.com/flet-dev/flet-build-template (don't fork the main branch, but a more up-to-date one).
• Go to flet-build-template\{{cookiecutter.out_dir}}\android\app\src\main and modify the AndroidManifest.xml file.
• When you build your APK, use the --template option and give the path to your modified template folder.

Your APK will be as you wish and already signed.

what should I do?

Add this to the pyproject.toml:

[tool.flet.android.manifest_application]
usesCleartextTraffic = "true"
