Media3 v1.3.1 crash on API level 22 (Android 5.1) : It's supposed to have media3 v1.3.1 working on Android 5.1?

[priscila225]

The app I work for started to crash after updating media3 to v1.3.1, rollback to v1.3.0 works fine, that's the stack trace and the crash is internally on media3 library:

Facing the same issue

[bsimon36]

It appears this is the same as #1312

[tonihei]

It is the same as #1312. Media3 1.3.0 introduced a dependency on core library desuring, the enhanced Java 8 support. We initially thought that would be transparent to apps, but it's not because of a tooling bug that is now fixed. You can work around the issue by turning on the enhanced Java 8 support in your app. See https://developer.android.com/studio/write/java8-support#library-desugaring
