Do you know if I can try this out in a snapshot or has it been published under a version name? (sorry, things in gerrit still confuse me so maybe its already clear that this is fixed and shipped!)

Yes, you can follow the snapshot instruction and try this out with build id #8054565.

Is the snapshot I'm trying to use 2.5.0-SNAPSHOT?

Yay. I can confirm that your fix worked. Thanks! And you were able to beat out the firebase perf plugin in getting a fix released. Thank you! This unblocks my team!

Heads up what I had to do. add the maven repo to buildscript repos

buildscript {
  repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
    maven("https://androidx.dev/snapshots/builds/8054565/artifacts/repository")
  }
}

then update the plugin to

classpath("androidx.navigation:navigation-safe-args-gradle-plugin:2.5.0-SNAPSHOT")

I don't know whether I should update the rest of my nav deps to 2.5.0 snapshot, but this'll do for now.

Generally, if possible, you should keep your safe args and other nav dependencies in sync just in case there are dependent changes in either module.

But for that particular build ID, this is the only difference between 2.4.0-rc01 and 2.5.0 so if you wanted to keep it as is, there should not be any issues.

Apparently firebase was fixed too (for anyone that stumbles onto this) https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android#performance_gradle_plugin_v1-4-1
