You're mentioning the name of that appway  to many times, making it look
as if you are trying to push it

 
Especially considering it fails to run after installation ...

It works fine for me, as you know, although I know it doesn't work for you.
Nobody should complain they don't have a text manifest file if they use it.

BTW, I've been using that App Manager for hours to open up map activities....
because I'm using it to set up backcountry mapping...

This is just a cut and paste from my ad hoc log...

I just used the Muntashirakon App Manager to get GPS coordinates onto
 a map of my own choosing, where without the app manager, it won't work (AFAIK).

Here's what I did...

1. Install FOSS My Location freeware (which can read Apple's Wi-Fi AP db!).
   <https://github.com/mirfatif/MyLocation>
   <https://f-droid.org/packages/com.mirfatif.mylocation/>
   <https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.mirfatif.mylocation>
   While free, it's not free on the Google Play Store though.
   <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mirfatif.mylocation.ps>

2. Run the "My Location" app to get a location latitude & longitude fix.

3. Press the GUI "Map" button to choose a map to display the location.
   Note that, for me, the available map choices were only these:
   All-In-One
   App Manager (Interceptor)
   Earth
   Fake GPS
   Geo Tracker
   GPSLogger II
   GPSTest
   Magic Earth

4. Instead of a map, choose the Muntashirakon App Manager Interceptor.
   And press "Send edited Intent" in that App Manager Interceptor GUI.
   Note that, for me, the available map choices were now more maps!
   Maps (Google Maps)
   App Manager (Interceptor)
   Fake GPS
   OSMAnd~
   All-In-One
   Organic Maps
   Earth
   Geo Tracker
   GPSLogger II
   GPSTest

   Notably "Magic Earth" did not appear in this open-with listing.

5. But look more deeply at the intents and you'll see more maps apps
   in the Muntashirakon App Manager "Matching Activities" section.
   But not Avenza or Paper Maps.

6. In the App Manager GUI, press the "adb" button which will copy
   to your clipboard the following adb command.
   cmd activity start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d geo:37.81444578572309,-122.47816992062673?q=37.81444578572309,-122.47816992062673 -f 50331648

7. In Windows, run that adb command (with the phone connected to adb).
   C:\> adb shell cmd activity start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d geo:37.81444578572309,-122.47816992062673?q=37.81444578572309,-122.47816992062673 -f 50331648

   Note that, for me, the available map choices were now even more maps!
   Open with...
   All-In-One
   App Manager (Interceptor)
   Earth
   Geo Tracker
   GPSLogger II
   GPSTest
   Magic Earth
   Fake GPS

   Notably missing were Maps (Google Maps), OSMAnd~ & Organic Maps.

8. So let's add them... (these are all experiments below)...
   C:\> adb shell cmd activity start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.VIEW
   C:\> adb shell cmd activity start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d geo:
   C:\> adb shell cmd activity start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d sms:
   C:\> adb shell cmd activity start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d content:
   C:\> adb shell cmd activity start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d content://com.android.contacts/data/4169
   C:\> adb shell cmd activity start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d geo:37.8,-122.23?z=23
   C:\> adb shell cmd activity start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.VIEW DataUri: geo:37.8,-122.23?z=23
   C:\> adb shell am start -n com.Avenza/.OpenFileWithAvenzaMapsActivity
   C:\> adb shell am start -n com.Avenza/.RootView.RootViewActivity
   C:\> adb shell am start -n ca.abbro.androidmap/.LaunchActivity
