So, for now I should use

    compileSdkVersion 34

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 23
        targetSdkVersion 33

[zionnite]

change the compileSdkVersion to 33 and rebuild again, i too was facing this issues

[nashihu]

there are 2 exception in this discussion:

• MissingForegroundServiceTypeException
• ForegroundServiceDidNotStartInTimeException

the first one could be fixed by following this or downgrading targetSdkVersion to 33 as mentioned before

the second one somehow still occured to me, but it's difficult to reproduce

[whes1015]

i have the same issue

[whes1015]

change the targetSdkVersion to 33 the problem will be solved

[bytec-D]

Since google now required to update all the apps to target the API level 34 so downgrading is not an option now. i have fixed this issue partially as initial after updating to 34 the app is crashing as soon as launch to i have changed the AndroidManifest as per the plugin documentation .but still i am getting the following crash
