IntentFilterAttribute is missing PathSuffix and PathAdvancePattern #8235
Description
Android application type
Classic Xamarin.Android (MonoAndroid12.0, etc.), .NET Android (net7.0-android, etc.)
Affected platform version
Xamarin.Android 13.2.0.6, .NET 7.0.306
Description
IntentFilterAttribute is missing PathSuffix and PathAdvancePattern, which were introduced in API 31. Cfr: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/data-element#path
Steps to Reproduce
Add an IntentFilterAttribute to any activity and you see that those two data element attributes are not exposed.
Did you find any workaround?
You can manually add this to your Android Manifest instead of using an IntentFilterAttribute.

It looks like this is split between
Mono.AndroidandXamarin.Android.Build.Tasks, is this something you guys normally handle?src/Mono.Android/Android.App/IntentFilterAttribute.cs
src/Xamarin.Android.Build.Tasks/Mono.Android/IntentFilterAttribute.Partial.cs

I don't think anyone is doing anything for these. The build tasks part is what emits the XML during the build.
How do we make it part of the binding process for new API levels? /cc @jonpryor

It looks like we have this:
https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-android/tree/main/build-tools/manifest-attribute-codegen
Perhaps I can look at extending it to generate the code we need.

Given the timelines for .NET 8, I think I will forgo writing a tool to do this for now, and manually add these requested attributes using this as a guide: #3810
For .NET 9 we should probably look at developing a tool to automatically pull in new attributes and generate the needed code.
