Hi there, I’m using cordova-plugin-x-socialsharing to share data by WhatsApp, on Android12 it works perfectly but on Android13 it crashes and closes the app, debugging the apk with Android Studio I could rescue this error message:
2023-02-27 11:18:23.413 11744-11744/com.app.name E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
    Process: com.app.name, PID: 11744
    android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {com.whatsapp/com.whatsapp.contact.picker.ContactPicker}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml, or does your intent not match its declared <intent-filter>?

My plugin invocation from a vue js based app (this works even on Android12):
window.plugins.socialsharing.shareViaWhatsApp(
            '',
            null,
            'some message...',
            ok => {
              console.log(ok)
            },
            err => {
              console.log(err)
            },
          )
if I intent to use the shareWhitOptions method like this (it also works even on Android12):
let options = {
            subject:  'Text',
            url: null,
            message:  'Text',
            chooserTitle: 'Text',
          }
          window.plugins.socialsharing.shareWithOptions(
            options,
            ok => {
              console.log(ok)
            },
            err => {
              console.log(err)
            },
          )
It doesn’t show the apps to share like WhatsApp or Google Messages, it just show the basic sharing options: Bluetooth, Gmail, Drive, Messages(SMS).
My config.xml data is this:

And when I try to use the Cordova engine “11.1.0” I get this error:
UserError: npm ERR! code ETARGET
npm ERR! notarget No matching version found for cordova-android@11.1.0.
npm ERR! notarget In most cases you or one of your dependencies are requesting

Sorry for the ‘long post’ but I think you may need these details
