Thanks for reporting this. We will take a look at FBE and try to land a fix in a future release. In the meantime, as the exception notes, you will want to initialize WorkManager in Application.onCreate or via a ContentProvider to avoid the error.
Description
android.arch.work:work-runtime
android.arch.work:work-firebase
Version used:
Devices/Android versions reproduced on:
Reproducible on API 21 emulator with google play services
If OneTimeWorkRequest setInitialDelay() method is set to WorkRequest.MIN_BACKOFF_MILLIS app will crash at runtime with
com.firebase.jobdispatcher.ValidationEnforcer$ValidationException: JobParameters is invalid: Initial backoff must be at least 30s
Therefore, I think WorkRequest.MIN_BACKOFF_MILLIS should be at least 30 seconds, or, perhaps, you could create a separate constant for the initial delay and crash WorkManager always if initial delay is less than 30 seconds, no matter what API level.
