Android build crashes after upgrading to Intercom 9.0.5/9.0.6.

[florinleu]

Environment:
Flutter 3.19.6/3.22.1
Intercom 9.0.5/9.0.6
VSCode 1.89.1
MacOS 14.5

When trying to build a release for Android I get the following error:
ERROR:/Users/builder/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/281d4165655ea893dd7147c4b25ba565/transformed/vectordrawable-animated-1.2.0-runtime.jar: R8: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "String.length()" because "" is null

I have the same problem.

Using bitrise to generate apk, it gives me this error:

ERROR:/Users/vagrant/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/81e565530d36f060670936a0807a9373/transformed/vectordrawable-animated-1.2.0-runtime.jar: R8: java.lang.NullPointerException
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:minifyDevReleaseWithR8'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.R8Task$R8Runnable

A workaround to continue building. app and not stop development was to fix the intercom version at 9.0.0

intercom_flutter: 9.0.0

Looks like the same issue #436

Can you please try updating your Gradle version same as the example app? #436 (comment)

[daniloapr]

Same here. I'm using the version 9.0.4 as recommended here

[greatschism]

Do any of you have it working with Flutter >3.19

[lucasfariasv]

I'm using Flutter 3.22.2 and intercom_flutter 9.0.7, I updated the version of gradle and kotlin and it worked, just as described here and here

Duplicate of #436

You need to use AGP version 8. Please follow the below steps:

• android/app/build.gradle
  Make sure to add the following under android section

    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = '1.8'
    }

• android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
  Update your distributionUrl

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.5-bin.zip

• android/settings.gradle

id "com.android.application" version "8.1.4" apply false
id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.android" version "1.9.21" apply false
