Hello, noticed a NPE crash in compose ui after updating from 1.1.0-alpha05 to 1.1.0-beta01. Crash happening in RenderNodeLayer.updateDisplayList and happening 100% on Android 10 Huawei devices as reported on crashlytics. Initially thought it was due to code obfuscation issue but managed to replicate it consistently on a non obfuscated build.

Noticed from the stacktrace that somehow drawBlock in updateDisplayList is null but not sure in what scenarios it could become null?

Same issue here, app crashes on start when using android-gradle 7.1.0-alpha04 and AS Canary 4

aurimas@, are you the right person for triaging Android Studio version-specific issues? I saw you upgraded AndroidX to Bumblebee Canary 3 last week. This bug report might be specific to Bumblebee Canary 4, I'm not certain.

Tested this quickly locally, it seems that the studio template creates a project that crashes out of the box. Updating compose_version to 1.0.0-rc02 and kotlin-gradle-plugin to 1.5.10 fixed the crash for me locally. We likely want to update studio template to use the latest of compose and kotlin.

th...@gmail.com <th...@gmail.com> #7Jan 6, 2022 05:38PM

Moving to studio component for triage.

This is a pretty bad user experience so ccing annachiarab@ to make sure this gets attention

I am running into this same issue on a project using compose 1.0.0-rc02, kotlin-gradle-plugin 1.5.10, AGP 7.1.0-alpha04, and AS 2021.1.1 Canary 4. It is only when I install app from AS. When I build from gradle via command line, I can run the app just fine.

st...@google.com <st...@google.com> #10Jan 10, 2022 03:16PM

#6 Did you run the app through cmd or IDE?

th...@gmail.com <th...@gmail.com> #11Jan 10, 2022 03:43PM

I test the case #9 describe with 1.0.0-rc01 and 1.0.0-rc02

It turns out that it is not related to the compose_version.

If you build from gradle via command line, it will just works fine.

But run in IDE it will crash.

I don't think this is an Android Studio issue. I updated three existing projects to AGP 7.1.0-alpha04 and all of them broke. They all throw the exception listed in the original report.

If I roll each project back to AGP 7.1.0-alpha03 they all work again, even if I build from AS Bumblebee 2021.1.1 Canary 4.

It certainly seems to be an AGP issue, to me.

Marked as fixed.

I'm able to reproduce, looking into it now.

to...@branchapp.com <to...@branchapp.com> #15Jan 19, 2022 10:32PM

The issue is that AGP passes min api level 21 to D8 causing it to remove the default methods from DefaultLifecycleObserver (make them abstract) but it does not pass desugaring classpath when rewriting invocations in AndroidComposeView.onAttachedToWindow.

ri...@ffw.com <ri...@ffw.com> #16Jan 20, 2022 12:06PM

Another workaround is to change the deploy option from Default APK to APK from app bundle, then we could deploy to device via Android Studio.

th...@gmail.com <th...@gmail.com> #17Jan 21, 2022 11:27PM

Current workaround is to (temporarily) increase your minSdkVersion to 24+ in build.gradle file.

This issue isn't related to Canary 4. I had this issue with Canary 4 but uninstalled it and then installed Arctic Fox (2020.3.1) RC 1 and this issue was still there. Changing the minSdkVersion to 24+ does fix the problem.

fr...@instacart.com <fr...@instacart.com> #19Feb 7, 2022 11:08PM

To clarify, the issue is not in Android Studio (the IDE), but it is in the Android Gradle plugin.

be...@google.com <be...@google.com> #20Feb 14, 2022 08:58PM

Buy why compiled through cmd will work?

na...@google.com <na...@google.com> #21Oct 24, 2022 01:38PM

This is because when building from the IDE, AGP knows the API of the device which is used for deployment. This information is used to optimize the dexing pipeline (e.g avoid desugaring unless you run on device 23-). In AGP 7.1.0-alpha04 we introduced a bug where:

the api version used for dexing is minSdkVersion e.g 21
because we deploy to a device 24+ (e.g 30), desugaring is not requested

This means that D8 (dex compiler) will strip interface method and make them abstract, but it will not perform full rewriting, which leads to AbstractMethodError.

When building from the command line, minSdkVersion used for dexing and deciding if desugaring should be performed is the same, so that's why you see no issues.
