The Flutter library for RevCat depends on androidx.core:core-ktx, and Google’s latest version androidx.core 1.7.0-alpha02 is causing Android build errors and preventing app deployment. Is there anything RevCat can do to address this, or anything you’d recommend we do on our end? Our pubspec.lock/yaml file haven’t been updated in a while so not sure why Google’s latest change impacts us.
For more details on our issue:
Running our Android emulator without any new changes or library updates suddenly started breaking with `error: resource android:attr/lStar not found`. From investigation, we saw a lot of Flutter & React Native developers posting the same issue:
