Component used: WorkManager

Version used: 2.10.0

Devices/Android versions reproduced on: Android 8.1, Android 9.

The issue is not reproduced on Android 15.

After updating the WorkManager library to v2.10.0 from 2.9.1 we noticed a reproducible crash related to running a worker in a separate process:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Expedited WorkRequests require a ListenableWorker to provide an implementation for`getForegroundInfoAsync()`
	at androidx.work.ListenableWorker.lambda$getForegroundInfoAsync$0(ListenableWorker.java:260)
	at androidx.work.ListenableWorker$$ExternalSyntheticLambda0.attachCompleter(D8$$SyntheticClass:0)
	at androidx.concurrent.futures.CallbackToFutureAdapter.getFuture(CallbackToFutureAdapter.java:102)
	at androidx.work.ListenableWorker.getForegroundInfoAsync(ListenableWorker.java:256)
	at androidx.work.impl.utils.WorkForegroundKt$workForeground$2.invokeSuspend(WorkForeground.kt:42)
	at androidx.work.impl.utils.WorkForegroundKt$workForeground$2.invoke(Unknown Source:8)
	at androidx.work.impl.utils.WorkForegroundKt$workForeground$2.invoke(Unknown Source:4)
	at kotlinx.coroutines.intrinsics.UndispatchedKt.startUndispatchedOrReturn(Undispatched.kt:42)

We have a worker that uses a service from the separate process. Work data builder:

val serviceName = OurServiceName::class.java.name
val componentName = ComponentName(applicationContext.packageName, serviceName)

return Data.Builder()
    .putString(RemoteListenableWorker.ARGUMENT_PACKAGE_NAME, componentName.packageName)
    .putString(RemoteListenableWorker.ARGUMENT_CLASS_NAME, componentName.className)
    .build()

Work request builder:

val workRequest = OneTimeWorkRequestBuilder<FfmpegWorker>().apply {
    setExpedited(OutOfQuotaPolicy.RUN_AS_NON_EXPEDITED_WORK_REQUEST)
    setInputData(workData)
    setBackoffCriteria(
        backoffPolicy = BackoffPolicy.LINEAR,
        backoffDelay = WORKER_RETRY_DELAY_MS,
        timeUnit = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS
    )
}.build()

The issue is not reproduced if the work is not expedited.
