After migration to AndroidX, exception at start up: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: “Didn't find class androidx.core.app.CoreComponentFactory”

Question

After migration to AndroidX i have the following exception at startup:

LoadedApk: Unable to instantiate appComponentFactory
    java.lang.ClassNotFoundExcept         


        

Answer 1

Looks CoreComponentFactory class is getting encrypted. Try adding the above class to proguard-rules.

 -keep class androidx.core.app.CoreComponentFactory { *; }

So the CoreComponentFactory won't be the encrypted anymore.
