@jesphinpt Based on the stack trace, the issue seems to be related to the androidx.startup library.

There is an open issue regarding this error here. You may follow that issue tracker for more guidance.

Some people found that removing android:hasCode="false" from the merged manifest fixed the issue, so you could try that if you encounter it.

@Vedant-Mehta39 Unable to access the link which you have updated above. here is an open issue regarding this error [here](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/209387755).

I don't have the android:hasCode="false" value in the AndroidManifest file.

Any other solution would be helpful.

[Vedant-Mehta39]

@jesphinpt Interesting, that link does open for me.

Another thing they mention is to ensure that InitializationProvider from android.startup is in the primary dex (classes.dex file). Their latest version androidx.startup:startup-runtime:1.1.1 should have a fix for that, but do note that some users still report an issue with the latest version.

If you still see the error, it would be worth opening an issue with them.
