Although they sound similar, they serve different purposes. You are correct in thinking that putting `uiMode` into your `android:configChanges` allows your app to handle light/dark mode changes. It also handles more than that, see the links below. However, the `android:colorMode` attribute is not related to light/dark mode, and is instead related to color depth. Additionally, `colorMode` is not a valid value for `android:configChanges`. See: [https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element) Also see: [https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/UiModeManager](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/UiModeManager)
