Android "Nearby Share" Crash (was Native crash of com.android.bluetooth)

Question

I just ran the pre-launch testing on my app and the report shows a native crash of com.android.bluetooth. I have never seen this before and have not had a lot of experience in reading the crash log.

Here is the log:

The app does not use or support bluetooth.

It appears the error is from "Nearby Share" that uses Bluetooth and/or wifi. Here are the screen shots from the pre-launch report:

Is there something the app needs to do to support this? or can I disable? It appears it is attempting to share an email the user is sending to report a problem or suggestion.

Answer 1

I submited a new release to Google Play this morning and I had the same issue on the prelaunch report.

Modifying the following lines in the build.gradle file seems to have solved it:

• compileSdk 34
• implementation group: 'com.google.android.material', name: 'material', version: '1.11.0'
• implementation 'androidx.preference:preference:1.2.1'

Once done, you can rebuild your project and create the release.

Hope it would help.
