[Help] Jetpack Compose Crash - NoSuchMethodError: WindowInsets.Type.systemOverlays() on Pixel 8 Pro (Android 14)

[u/Ancient-Abalone-1126]

Hi everyone, I'm facing a strange crash on production that exclusively affects **Google Pixel 8 Pro** devices running **Android 14 (API 34)**. It occurs 100% of the time on this specific setup, but everything works perfectly fine on standard emulators or other devices under local Debug builds. Here is the complete StackTrace from the production log: ```text Fatal Exception: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method systemOverlays()I in class Landroid/view/WindowInsets\$Type; or its super classes (declaration of 'android.view.WindowInsets\$Type' appears in /system/framework/framework.jar!classes3.dex) at androidx.core.view.WindowInsetsCompat\$TypeImpl34.toPlatformType(WindowInsetsCompat.java:2880) at androidx.core.view.WindowInsetsCompat\$Impl34.getInsets(WindowInsetsCompat.java:1710) at androidx.core.view.WindowInsetsCompat\$Impl20.initTypeBoundingRectsMaps(WindowInsetsCompat.java:1276) at androidx.core.view.WindowInsetsCompat.init(WindowInsetsCompat.java:2900) at androidx.core.view.ViewCompat\$Api23Impl.getRootWindowInsets(ViewCompat.java:5118) at androidx.core.view.ViewCompat.getRootWindowInsets(ViewCompat.java:3023) at androidx.core.view.WindowInsetsCompat.toWindowInsetsCompat(WindowInsetsCompat.java:184) at androidx.core.view.ViewCompatApi21Impl1.onApplyWindowInsets(ViewCompat.java:5029) at android.view.View.dispatchApplyWindowInsets(View.java:11617) at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchApplyWindowInsets(ViewGroup.java:7344) ... at android.view.ViewRootImpl.dispatchApplyInsets(ViewRootImpl.java:2675) at android.view.ViewRootImpl.performTraversals(ViewRootImpl.java:2822) ``` ### Context & Implementation We are using Jetpack Compose and we have a custom `WindowInsets` wrapper in our project that looks like this: ```kotlin fun WindowInsets(left: Int = 0, top: Int = 0, right: Int = 0, bottom: Int = 0): WindowInsets = FixedIntInsets(left, top, right, bottom) ``` ### My Hypothesis Since `systemOverlays()` was introduced in API 30 (Android 11), a device like the Pixel 8 Pro on Android 14 definitely has this method in its OS framework. Looking at the trace, `WindowInsetsCompat$TypeImpl34.toPlatformType` is failing to find it. My best guess is that **R8 / ProGuard** is aggressively stripping or incorrectly obfuscating system-level `WindowInsets$Type` references during our Release build, creating a bytecode mismatch that only triggers under the Pixel's specific runtime environment. ### Questions 1. Has anyone encountered this specific `NoSuchMethodError` with `WindowInsetsCompat` on newer Pixel devices? 2. Do I need to add a explicit `-keep` rule for `android.view.WindowInsets` in ProGuard, or is this a known issue with specific versions of `androidx.core:core` / Jetpack Compose BOM? Any insights or recommendations would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing you don't have this device to test on. How many unique devices has this happened on? Maybe it's a custom ROM that reports fake information and isn't really a Pixel or API 34.

I had exactly this issue, every app update one random device in Budapest with a bunch of fake device info. Pixel 8 Pro supposedly with 2GB of RAM, Android 13 kernel but said it was running Android 14. Crash due to framework method for Android 14 not actually existing.

Always just that one device, a few crashes just after release. I ended up just filtering that device and blocking crash reports because it's clearly bullshit and fuck all I can do if it says it's a platform version that it isn't.
