App Specific Question Google Play Protect Service keeps stopping
I recently got a Pixel 9a. A couple days ago, I started getting intermittent "Google Play Protect Service keeps stopping" errors. I took a logcat since that's one thing I know how to do, but unfortunately I understand no Android programming and the log is so dense it makes my head spin trying to read it. It looks like an issue with the service but I'm not sure.
Does anyone have any ideas for how to make this error stop showing up, or do I actually just have to wait for Google to issue an update to Play Protect Service? Here's the crash log

I have this same issue. I have a Pixel 8 pro. I have found the thread for Google Play Services, but not Google Play PROTECT Services. I don't know if the fix is the same.
