package android does not belong to

[kotoMJ]

When using 'com.birbit:android-priority-jobqueue:3.0.0' and running application with approximately 300 000 users, there are approximately 3 users (Android11: OnePlus 8 Pro, Pixel 3, Galaxy S20 5G - NO rooted phone) having following issue just after they install application and trying to initialize com.birbit.android.jobqueue.network jobqueue

Any idea what's the reason for this crash?

Hi @yigit,

We have been observing this crash for a large number of our users.

The StackTrace looks something like below:

The root cause seemed to be an Android bug https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/175055271. However Google has closed this bug as Fixed after fixing it for Android 12. So for lower Android versions we keep facing this crash.

So, as a workaround, some SDK/Apps are wrapping the relevant piece of code in try-catch, to prevent this crash. Can you please do something similar in android-priority-jobqueue as well?
