[Bug]: ShareFileProvider ... defineEntityReplacementText() not supported
Platform
Android 12
Plugin
share_plus
Version
7.0.0
Flutter SDK
3.13.9
Steps to reproduce
As soon as I add share_plus > 7.0.0 as a dependency my app crashes on the start in release mode and I get the error message below in logcat. I checked the install instructions for tags or content to add to AndroidManifest.xml, but could not find anything.
As soon as I remove the share_plus dependency again, everything works fine.
Code Sample
**No code needed**
Adding the dependency without any additional code is enough to crash it
I have the following proguard rules. Is it maybe somehow related to that?
(I did not change anything apart from upgrading share_plus and adding this proguard file)
# Please add these rules to your existing keep rules in order to suppress warnings.
# This is generated automatically by the Android Gradle plugin.

Hey @SimonErich , do you have minification turned on? Also, did you migrate your Android gradle config to 8.x?
Hello @AngeloAvv ,
yes, we had to upgrade to gradle 8.x because of an SDK needed in our app.
minifyEnabled is not set anywhere in my project, so I guess it is disabled by default.
@SimonErich I believe there's a combination of libraries that make the app crash during the startup. I have the very same gradle and share_plus configuration on multiple projects, but one of them is crashing with the error message you reported.
I was able to solve the crash by adding the following row into gradle.properties, looks like the behavior of R8 changed since gradle 8.x:
android.enableR8.fullMode=false
I got a similar error using share_plus 7.2.2 :

I tried to add a res/raw/keep.xml file without success:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:keep="@xml/flutter_share_file_paths*" />
only android.enableR8.fullMode=false in gradle.properties fixes this crash.
Android Gradle Plugin 8.3 fixes this problem but leads to new one:
java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: Class 'android.content.res.XmlBlock$Parser' does not implement interface 'i7.a' in call to 'int i7.a.next()'
java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: Class 'android.content.res.XmlBlock$Parser' does not implement interface 'i7.a' in call to 'int i7.a.next()'
This an issue with R8 configuration. By default since Gradle version 8 the R8 works in full mode which is a bit too aggressive and leads to such issues. To resolve it you need to either modify your proguard-rules.pro file or try to turn off the full mode of R8.
