We Keep Coding

The application does not work after publishing in the Google market. R8

I can’t understand why the code stopped working correctly after being published in the Google market in the release branch.
Step 1. Problem of the following character: 1. Turn on "minifyEnabled true", configure the proguard-rules.pro file. I write there the names of classes whose code does not need to be changed (-keep public class myClassName ...)
I check all this on the local computer - everything works (As you can see, the same settings for both release and debug)
I upload to the Google market - a branch of internal testing. Does not work.
Step 2. Turn off "minifyEnabled false".
I upload the code to the Google market in the internal testing branch. Surprisingly, everything works.
Ok, I'm trying to copy the current version from the internal branch to the release branch.
And, after the publication, this version of the application does not work again.
First, I have "minifyEnabled" turned off, but the app behaves like it's enabled. The application also starts to crumble in other places because of the encrypted variables, nonsense is passed to my functions and because of this they break.
Although I also have a "proguard-rules.pro" file with the rules configured correctly.
Step 3. I repeated step 2, only uploaded directly to the release branch, everything is exactly the same. Doesn't want to work.

Then when I open the app for the second,third time, it works fine.

This issue was also mentioned in Samsung Developer Forum, but no solution offered. See https://forum.developer.samsung.com/t/android-content-res-resources-notfoundexception-in-org-chromium-ui-base-deviceformfactor-istablet/17544/4
Is there any more information on this issue? I see it in my app too. Initially I saw it ONLY on Samsung S21 phones with Android 12, now I got also a crash report on Crashlytics on one Pixel 3 phone with Android 12, and several on Samsung S21 with Android 11… It happens most often on this call:
String uas = WebSettings.getDefaultUserAgent(context);
I suspect that it happens only if called when no WebView control was created yet, as so far I did not find crashes from similar calls later in the app, when the control was created in it. Surrounding this line with try - catch does not help, as the crash seems to happen in another thread.

I have the same issue,
due I move MobileAds.initialize from the Application class to another class.
You can try to init MobileAds.initialize at Application class

Ksoap2 Library to android studio Error message, how to fix?

I an trying to import Ksoap2 library in android studio using .jar file version 3.6.4. I have successfully implemented the jar file to android studio. However, on the module app activity when I try to import e.g. import "org.ksoap2.SoapEnvelope;", it gets and error it shows following results:
Execution failed for task ':app:checkDebugAarMetadata'.
Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:debugRuntimeClasspath'.

Please help me, I been stuck here for a long time. How to fix the error and how can I implement the Ksoap2 library properly. Thanks

There doesn't seem to be a 3.4.3 version of that library. There's a 3.4.0. And the newest is 3.6.4. You're going to need to use one of those. I'd move to 3.6.4 as 3.4.0 is over 5 years old, and likely lacks security updates.

Remove the dependencyResolutionManagement block from the setting.gradle file to have your project work the old way.

Cannot able to use StorageRefrence in my android app

Please tell what is wrong why i am not able to use StorageReference.

If you are planning on using the Storage Bucket feature from Firebase I notice you are missing some implementations in your App Gradle:
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:19.1.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:19.3.1'
You might not need the second one, but i would recommend authentication anyway. Go ahead and add these into your dependencies, that should solve the issue. If it persists let me know and I'll give it a second look.
Also ensure that you have connected your app to your Firebase project...
In android studio, if you go to tools(top bar) > FireBase > Storage it will guide you through the installation, and ensure that you have all the dependencies you need.

Gradle sync failed: All firebase libraries must be either above or below 14.0.0

I've been going at this for a while now, and it's driving me insane. I've looked through a few existing Stack Overflow questions, but nothing has worked. I keep getting this error whenever I add the last line, which I need for my AdMob ad units. People seem to solve this issue by changing the version number for this line to 15.0.0, but, as you can see, I've already done this. Please help, if you can. Also, this isn't even the first time I've worked with ad units.

Update the following classpath dependency in your top-level build.gradle:
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.0.1'
Only newer versions of this plugin understand that the new Firebase dependencies no longer all have to be at the same version.
Read this for more information.

Upgrade your firebase dependencies to latest version, by changing your dependencies to this:
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:16.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:16.0.2'
implementation 'com. google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.1'
And in your project level Gradle file, increment your Google services plugin to 4.0.0

Change this:
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:12.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:12.0.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:12.0.1'
into this:
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:16.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:16.0.2'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.1'
