Experiencing Fatal Exception while cropping image on Android 13 and 14, Fatal Exception: java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: Class 'android.content.res.XmlBlock$Parser' does not implement interface 'e8.a' in call to 'int e8.a.l()'

For my case, the crash happens regardless of API level, but only with release build. It's working fine during the debugging.

I'm facing the same issue even while debugging on Emulator too

same issue

I also seem to get crashing on android when debugging or in release -- the android version does not matter for me too, have been having this issue for a while

Edit: I saw that by adding the UCropActivity in my AndroidManifest.xml file the cropper worked and is no longer causing the app to crash

Any other possible solutions for this? My Manifest (in the main folder) contains the activity but I still get the issue on release apk and not on debug

i am facing same issue even i added below code to my manifest

<activity android:name="com.yalantis.ucrop.UCropActivity" android:screenOrientation="portrait" android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"/>

Having the same from version 5.0.1 to version 8.0.2 Temporarily, waiting for a fix from the author, i am using this in my proguard and it works pretty well (courtesy of claude.ai) :
