We're seeing a similar error in our code. Appears to be a combination of AGP 8.6.0 and Kotlin 2 needed to hit it.

private fun Intent.stripUnwantedFlags() {
    // Explicitly remove the new task and clear task flags (Our browser activity is a single
    // task activity and we never want to start a second task here).
    flags = flags and Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK.inv()
    flags = flags and Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK.inv()

    // IntentReceiverActivity is started with the "excludeFromRecents" flag (set in manifest). We
    // do not want to propagate this flag from the intent receiver activity to the browser.
    flags = flags and Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_EXCLUDE_FROM_RECENTS.inv()
}

All 3 lines then hit:

Must be one or more of: Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION, Intent.FLAG_FROM_BACKGROUND, Intent.FLAG_DEBUG_LOG_RESOLUTION, Intent.FLAG_EXCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES, Intent.FLAG_INCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_PERSISTABLE_URI_PERMISSION, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_PREFIX_URI_PERMISSION, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_MATCH_EXTERNAL, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_FORWARD_RESULT, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_PREVIOUS_IS_TOP, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_EXCLUDE_FROM_RECENTS, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_BROUGHT_TO_FRONT, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_LAUNCHED_FROM_HISTORY, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_DOCUMENT, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_USER_ACTION, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_TASK_ON_HOME, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RETAIN_IN_RECENTS, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_LAUNCH_ADJACENT, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REQUIRE_NON_BROWSER, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REQUIRE_DEFAULT, Intent.FLAG_RECEIVER_REGISTERED_ONLY, Intent.FLAG_RECEIVER_REPLACE_PENDING, Intent.FLAG_RECEIVER_FOREGROUND, Intent.FLAG_RECEIVER_NO_ABORT, Intent.FLAG_RECEIVER_VISIBLE_TO_INSTANT_APPS

The initial report (comment#1) seems like a dup of b/352609562 (internal link), and fixed at https://cs.android.com/android-studio/platform/tools/base/+/f88d11033727f891bcc2a7a1cbbeb109c7d5dd0f I believe it's available in AGP 8.7.0-alpha02+

However, comment#2 indicates that there are more kinds of conversions we may miss... Let me double-check that.

Thanks for fixing! What release should we be able to verify the fix in? And is there any chance of a backport for 8.6.1?

The caveat is that the fix for comment#1 is in 8.7.0-alpha02 and the fix for comment#2 will be in 8.8.0-alpha02. I'm asking internally how we can handle this case.

the fix for comment#2 will be in 8.8.0-alpha02

It is cherry-picked to 8.7

the fix for comment#1 is in 8.7.0-alpha02

This one and the above one are cherry-picked to 8.6.1

There was another issue with TabLayout that has only been fixed in Android Studio Giraffe (see https://b.corp.google.com/issues/268488795).
Please file a new issue if this still does not work for you in Giraffe or newer versions of Studio

This is now happening for every single xml preview, including drawables, on Giraffe Patch 2.

Happened out of nowhere, sudden massive CPU use non stop, computer started lagging everywhere, forced kill the app after 10min of this nonsense, restarted and no previews for any layouts show up, no matter which .xml file used, new, old, modified, nothing works for the preview now and no warnings show up either. Already tried clearing cache, restarting pc, cleared build files in the project folder, NOTHING WORKS. This is absolutely bonkers, the ability to preview any XML is completely dead and there is no explanation, warning, or error to explain why it is now stuck like this. Unbelievable.
