Sorry, discovered the problem, the manifest additions was changes, if anyone have this problem, before:

<provider
        android:name="androidx.lifecycle.ProcessLifecycleOwnerInitializer"
        android:authorities="APPLICATION_PACKAGE.lifecycle-process"
        android:exported="false"
        android:multiprocess="true" />

After Application ANE - 6.8.5:

       <provider
            android:name="androidx.startup.InitializationProvider"
            android:authorities="APPLICATION_PACKAGE.androidx-startup"
            android:exported="false" >
            <meta-data
                android:name="androidx.lifecycle.ProcessLifecycleInitializer"
                android:value="androidx.startup" />
        </provider>

Yes correct, we missed an update to the lifecycle libs in the 1.6.0 update which was causing issues with other extensions and required this update.

Highly recommend using apm to avoid issues like this in the future.

Hey @marchbold I am using apm (1.1.5) and after updated my anes and regenerated descriptor, my app crash on startup. Logs say: Didn't find class "androidx.lifecycle.ProcessLifecycleOwnerInitializer" .

[marchbold]

@leossmith Hmm that's odd, can you try clearing the cache and reinstalling (i.e. delete apm_packages and run apm install, then regenerate the app descriptor apm generate app-descriptor ... ).

[leossmith]

@marchbold the apm_packages delete and apm install fixed it for me. Thank you.
