Android - Crash "Unable to instantiate receiver app.notifee.core.AlarmPermissionBroadcastReceiver"

[Minishlink]

Hello,

Got this crash java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate receiver app.notifee.core.AlarmPermissionBroadcastReceiver: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "app.notifee.core.AlarmPermissionBroadcastReceiver" after enabling alarm in the app settings. Note that the crash doesn't happen when disabling it.

notifee 5.7.0 compileSdkVersion 31 targetSdkVersion 31 Tested on a Galaxy S10e on Android 12

Hi there! This is a pretty sparse bug report. Do you have the stack trace (https://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask)? Any code that reproduces (https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example)

Could you post your android/bulid.gradle and android/app/build.gradle files?

Can you detali the exact steps to reproduce ?

Basically, imagine yourself as the director of software engineering, with 3 team leads, each running a crew of 4 programmers. You are pretty busy with project management tasks, customer requests, directing your team leads and then...someone comes to you with a bug report. What do you need in order to efficiently solve it?

That's what you need to bring to bug reports in order to have efficient, positive interactions.

Sorry I felt like there was enough info, but I should have noted that this is reproducible with a fresh app:

react-native init test
cd test
yarn add @notifee/react-native
yarn react-native run-android
pidcat com.test

Go the "test" app settings, disable the alarm permission. Go back to the "test" app, go again to the "test" app settings, enable the alarm permission, exit the app settings, and notice the error on your terminal (pidcat)

@Minishlink thanks for the additional info. I wonder if this could be device specific 🤔 were you able to reproduce with an emulator?

[NathanHynes]

I am experiencing the same issue with the exact same stack trace that @Minishlink has detailed.

Using the same version of notifee as well

I have been testing on a Pixel 3a on Android 12

I can see this issue that was closed back last year which mentions crashes but I am not sure how related it is: https://github.com/invertase/notifee/issues/239

I see a bunch of similar errors on Android 14 in crashlytics. notifee version - 5.2.1: e.g. recent from galaxy s23 ultra:
