So also on Android 7.1 (API 25) above error is shown.

How can I solve this?

Hello @bm-software , I am having the same issue. Did you perhaps found a solution?

Thanks

Hey, App Shortcuts are an Android 7.1's feature. This is why the project cannot load the ShortcutManager class in older versions.

@Vinetos No, this issue refers to Android 7.1 too :)
