Forgot to note the environment.
This crash occurs on only API 21.

This crash occurs on API 22 and 23 when the user doesn't have Google Play installed. Related discussions:

This crash doesn't reproduce on 1.1.0-rc0. Found that this commit in 1.1.0 with applyOverrideConfiguration

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/support/+/26079d87c79a64829f036236353fac1dae4e0613%5E%21/#F2 causes crashes.

For me this still persisted in 1.1.0-rc01 as well as 1.1.0-alpha01.

Only downgrading all my androidx version to the previously working state helped.

From:

implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0'
implementation 'androidx.cardview:cardview:1.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0-alpha10'
implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.3'
implementation 'androidx.recyclerview:recyclerview:1.1.0-beta04'
implementation 'androidx.viewpager2:viewpager2:1.0.0-beta04'
implementation 'androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4:1.0.0'
implementation 'androidx.vectordrawable:vectordrawable:1.1.0'
implementation 'androidx.preference:preference:1.1.0'
implementation 'androidx.core:core:1.2.0-alpha04'

back to:

implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0-rc01'
implementation 'androidx.cardview:cardview:1.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0-alpha09'

If you want to use 1.1.0 , override applyOverrideConfiguration in your activity as follows. However, this might need app restart for API 21 to 25, while switching Dark Theme to Light Theme and vice versa.

override fun applyOverrideConfiguration(overrideConfiguration: Configuration?) {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT in 21..25 && (resources.configuration.uiMode == AppConstants.appContext.resources.configuration.uiMode)) {
return
}
super.applyOverrideConfiguration(overrideConfiguration)
}

Thank you guys for letting me know workarounds, I really appreciate that.
But here is not stack overflow.
I just want the bug of appcompat to be fixed.

There is some reasons like below why I point that it's bug of appcompat.

- androidx.appcompat supports api 21
- As far as I know, apparently there are no api 21 emulator supporting play store.

I hope developer experience to improve as much as possible.

Thanks
