Hello, we recently had a broken build resulting in a runtime ClassCastException (org.jsoup.parser.e cannot be cast to cx2.a).

And this looked weird as the crashing code and module itself (the code comes from an internally published library) has no reference to any org.jsoup.* code. (see attachment original.png from the class contained in the aar)

Looking at the stack trace I opened the smali in the broken apk and I indeed found references of org.jsoup class in the primary constructor (attachment broken smali.png) which is odd.

Trying to reproduce the problem rebuilding the same code with same configuration the resulted smali in the apk it looks correct (attachment good smali.png)

I am not sure how I can collect more informations here but I felt I had to file an issue with the little I have. I can privately share the APK and mapping file if needed.

Please note we just updated AGP from 8.1.1 to 8.2.0-rc01 and so R8 (but I am not sure which version is used)
