Android CameraX VideoRecorder error > Encoder cannot created : null

I am building an Android app that records video using Camera X.
The probe in a Samsung A52 and it works correctly.
When running on a Galaxy Core A03 I get these errors:
E/Recorder: Unable to initialize video encoder.

I have it exactly as the Android documentation tells me.

I'm also having the same error after learning about CameraX at the following link https://developer.android.com/codelabs/camerax-getting-started
I think it's true what Morrison Chang said, there is something problem with Low End Android devices.
So I downgraded the quality of the Recorder contained inside the startCamera() function from HIGHEST to SD or HD and it's work.
val recorder = Recorder.Builder()
//.setQualitySelector(QualitySelector.from(Quality.HIGHEST))
.setQualitySelector(QualitySelector.from(Quality.SD))//change to Quality.SD or Quality.HD
.build()
videoCapture = VideoCapture.withOutput(recorder)

Android Emulator SDK--30 is not working with AR application [Google sceneform sdk]

We are developing an AR application with google-sceneform sdk, the app is getting crashed on Android 11 (Real Device) after the successful launch. we are able to identify the plane and place an object but after some time it will crash.
So we are trying it on emulator sdk-30. But after running the application it shows Failed to create AR Session.
I have followed the whole steps provided by Google in this Link but it didn't work.
Tried all the steps with android studio 4.1 and SDK-30 with emulator version 30.2.6 which is not worked.
The normal hand sign for scanning the surface is also not shown.
But with SDK-27 it worked. We need the sdk-30 to be worked.
Q1: is the emulator failing issue is a known issue? did anyone faced this before?
This is the log for Emulator.

Flutter can't detect 'model.tflite' file from assets folder (FileNotFoundException)

Background
I'm making a fruit classification app using flutter on android studio. The app will work as follows:
Take a picture with the camera.
Predict the type of fruit in the picture.
To do step (2), I'm using a 'model.tflite' file that was exported from teachable machine. I'm also using the tflite plugin for flutter.
The Problem
When my program tries to predict the image, I get the following message in the console:
E/MethodChannel#tflite( 7296): Failed to handle method call
E/MethodChannel#tflite( 7296): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported value: java.io.FileNotFoundException: flutter_assets/assets/model.tflite

I/flutter ( 7296): ERROR: PlatformException(error, Unsupported value: java.io.FileNotFoundException: flutter_assets/assets/model.tflite, null)
Flutter can't seem to find the model.tflite file from my assets folder!
What I've tried
I have triple checked the indentations in pubspec.yaml (below). The file paths and names of directories are also correct.
flutter:
assets:
- assets/labels.txt
- assets/model.tflite
I have read the tflite docs.
I've downloaded the model.tflite as a floating point type and quantized type.
I have tried renaming the model.tflite file (you could tell I was getting desperate).
I have also tried changing certain parameters within my code. Below is the function where the error seems to be happening - it is called whenever the user takes a picture.
Future classifyImage() async {
try{
String res = await Tflite.loadModel(
model: 'assets/model.tflite',
labels: 'assets/labels.txt',
numThreads: 1,
isAsset: true,
useGpuDelegate: true
);
print(res);
var recognitions = await Tflite.runModelOnImage(
path: _image.path,
imageMean: 117.0,
imageStd: 1.0,
numResults: 1,
threshold: 0.5,
asynch: true,
);
_recognitions = recognitions;
await Tflite.close();
} catch (error){
print(' ');
print('ERROR: $error');
}
Here is a screenshot of my project directories.
I have also tried flutter clean, quitting android studio and restarting the project.
PLEASE HELP! I'm currently waiting for someone to float from the heavens and magically fix my problem. I'm also a beginner to flutter, so any general suggestions to my code would be greatly appreciated :-).
Thank you.

Go ahead and open the android / app / build.gradle file and add the following code inside the android block.
aaptOptions {
noCompress 'tflite'
noCompress 'lite'
}

I went on my project the next day and the error doesn't seem to be coming up. Not too sure what happened...
Perhaps it was something to do with my laptop?

Does anyone have an idea of how to solve it?

Please check authentication token for android Lite version. Also check for the permission java class that has to be correctly written. The accompanying example apps can be found on GitHub : https://github.com/heremaps/here-sdk-examples
To try out these examples, add your HERE credentials (access_key_id and access_key_secret) to the AndroidManifest.xml file, and add the HERE SDK to the libs folder.

CLJSRN Release Build Runtime Failure

I inherited this CLJS React Native codebase and I'm trying to upgrade the Android SDK to v26 with React 16.4 and RN 0.56. The debug build works great but the release build fails when starting up with the following call stack:

Any ideas on how to get the non-minified version of the call stack? Is the minification done by the cljs to js compiler? Or the RN bundler/packager?
I'm currently using advanced optimizations on the cljs to js compiler. If I switch it to whitespace optimizations, then I get a build error
transform[stderr]: FATAL ERROR: Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory
I can work around it by doing the bundling separately
node --expose-gc --max_old_space_size=4096 ./node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js bundle --verbose --platform android --dev true --reset-cache --entry-file index.android.js --bundle-output /usr/src/app/android/app/build/intermediates/assets/release/index.android.bundle --assets-dest /usr/src/app/android/app/build/intermediates/res/merged/release
But I hit another failure
Unable to load script from assets 'index.android.bundle'.
Any ideas what else I can try?
Update 1: The "Unable to load script from assets 'index.android.bundle'." error message was caused by the index.android.bundle file being placed in the wrong folder. The following command worked:
node --expose-gc --max_old_space_size=4096 ./node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js bundle --verbose --platform android --dev true --reset-cache --entry-file index.android.js --bundle-output /usr/src/app/android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest /usr/src/app/android/app/src/main/res/
The unminified call stack looks like:
