What intent queries are required to resolve NFC-intents in Android SDK 30 and later?

Question

Since Android SDK 30, packages does not have full visibility of other packages by default (https://developer.android.com/training/package-visibility).

Basically, starting with API level 30, if you're targeting that version or higher, your app cannot see, or directly interact with, most external packages without explicitly requesting allowance, either through a blanket QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission, or by including an appropriate element in your manifest.

(intent.resolveActivity returns null in API 30)

Even while adding the blanket QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission, you apparently still need to add specific queries

Even when permission QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES is added, you still need to add filter to your AndroidManifest.

(What does QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission do?)

How do you locate the specific query filter required for NFC actions? I have tried adding everything imaginable to AndroidManifest but without success. Currently my full AndroidManifest file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.operationBlipp">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.NFC" />
    <permission android:name="android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES" />


    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.nfc"
        android:required="true" />

    <application
        android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config"
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/logo_ob_round"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/logo_ob_light_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.NFCApplication">
        <activity
            android:name="com.example.operationBlipp.MainActivity"
            android:exported="true">

            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <action android:name="android.nfc.action.TECH_DISCOVERED"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
            <meta-data android:name="android.nfc.action.TECH_DISCOVERED"
                android:resource="@xml/nfc_tech_filter" />
        </activity>
    </application>

    <queries>
        <package android:name="android.nfc" />
        <intent>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_TAG_DISCOVERED" />
        </intent>
        <intent>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.*" />
        </intent>
    </queries>



</manifest>

And everything compiles but I still just get returned null from resolveIntent as seen here:

    @Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
    super.onNewIntent(intent);
    List<ResolveInfo> resolveInfos = getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
    setIntent(intent);
    resolveIntent(intent);
}

private void resolveIntent(Intent intent) {
    String action = intent.getAction();
    if (NfcAdapter.ACTION_TAG_DISCOVERED.equals(action)
            || NfcAdapter.ACTION_TECH_DISCOVERED.equals(action)
            || NfcAdapter.ACTION_NDEF_DISCOVERED.equals(action))
    {
        tag = intent.getParcelableExtra(NfcAdapter.EXTRA_TAG);
        assert tag != null;
        tagHeader = new NFCTagHeader(tag);
        Toast.makeText(this, "New card with UID " + tagHeader.getUID() + " detected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
    else if (action == null) {
        Log.e("NullAction", "Action is null!");
    }
}

I think there was some update for androidstudio which broke this recently because I reverted commits to ones not targeting SDK 30 and encountered the same issue. Maybe there's something else that causes this?

Edit:

Some clarification and added code. It has worked before and is (used to be) a fully functioning application, currently the NFC adapter is initialized in the main function with:

    nfcAdapter = nfcHandler.createAdapter(this);
    assert nfcAdapter != null;

with the called code basically being

NfcAdapter nfcAdapter = NfcAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(context);

which is then used in onResume to enable foreground dispatch:

    @Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();

    assert nfcAdapter != null;
    nfcAdapter.enableForegroundDispatch(this, pendingIntent, null, null);

}

ResolveIntent() gets properly called every time you scan an NFC card but the intent.getAction(); now only returns null.
