Also seeing this issue. So far, I've tried updating all of my AndroidX packages, but no luck.

i think that is the issue here: updating the AndroidX nugets causes this issue

Yes, downgrading did the trick (sadly)

@inimirpaz downgrading what to what version?

Version 1.12.0.1
(I have also rolled back Xamarin.Google.Dagger to 2.46.1.2 and Xamarin.Firebase.Messaging to 123.1.2.2)

[narciszait]

Version 1.12.0.1

Xamarin.AndroidX.Collection ?

[Alexander-Mathew]

Version 1.12.0.1

Xamarin.AndroidX.Collection ?

I added based on the exception I got in the logger

[softlion]

Version 1.12.0.1

Xamarin.AndroidX.Collection ?

I added based on the exception I got in the logger

And that fixed it ? It did not on my side.
