Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a third-party library containing removeFirst()
2. Use the third-party library in an app compiled with SDK 35
3. Write the same code inside my app
4. Run on an Android 14 device -> The third-party library works fine but my own app crashes with the same code inside my project

Questions:
1. Why does removeFirst() from a third-party library work fine, but calling it directly in my app crashes?
2. Is there a difference in how ART/Dex processes removeFirst() from an AAR/JAR vs. app code?
3. Could desugaring or runtime method resolution affect this behavior?
4. What is the correct way to use removeFirst() safely across Android versions?

Additional Debugging Info:
1. Tested on Android 14.
2. Used AGP v8.5.2 and Gradle v8.7
3. targetSdkVersion = 35.
4. App was tested without Proguard/R8/Dexguard.

Code example:
class CallMeToCheck {
  private val list = mutableListOf("a", "b", "c")
  fun call(): List<String> {
    list.removeFirst()
    return list
  }
}
