Unable to stream audio after migrating to AndroidX - android

A Google audio player code sample that successfully plays mp3 audio from an online stream fails as soon as the project is migrated to AndroidX.
I'm attempting to follow the best practices in building a Media Player app as detailed here: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media-apps/audio-app/building-an-audio-app
At the bottom of this page is a link to this sample code: https://github.com/googlesamples/android-MediaBrowserService/
This sample creates a simple media player app that plays local mp3 files, rather than a stream.
The smallest possible change I can make to the sample so that it plays a stream rather than a file is to change the following in com.example.android.mediasession.service.players.MediaPlayerAdapter:
AssetFileDescriptor assetFileDescriptor = mContext.getAssets().openFd(mFilename);
mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(
assetFileDescriptor.getFileDescriptor(),
assetFileDescriptor.getStartOffset(),
assetFileDescriptor.getLength());
to
mMediaPlayer.setDataSource("http://109.228.17.230:80/");
This works successfully. The stream plays when the Play button is pressed.
However this code sample has not been migrated to AndroidX. It is still using support library v27.0.2. I have successfully migrated the code sample to AndroidX in Android Studio, and confirmed that after doing this the sample app still successfully opens and plays local mp3 files.
If however, I make the above code change after migrating the project to AndroidX, AndroidX, MediaPlayer.prepare() fails with the following stack trace:

I have researched other reports of the "Prepare failed.: status=0x1" error online, but there does not seem to be a consensus as to the cause.
I've tried making the code change to use a stream before migrating to AndroidX, and after. The result is the same, with the app failing as above when playing a stream, but only when using AndroidX.
UPDATE: Further debugging has shown that I don't need to perform a full migration to AndroidX to trigger this error. Simply updating the support libraries used by the code sample from v27.0.2 to v28.0.0 in build.gradle is sufficient to stop the stream being played. Streaming still works when they are upgraded only to v27.1.1. However I'll leave the Title of this question as is, because the most likely way in which a developer might trigger this issue is by migrating to AndroidX as recommended by Google.

I ultimately determined that the root cause was the fact that the audio stream I was trying to play was served only over HTTP, and from SDK 28 onwards you need to explicitly allow connections to be made over non HTTPS using a network security config, as detailed here:

React native video unable to play m3u8 file

Problem
I'm trying to stream a m3u8 file in a react native app (for android TV) and I'm getting this error:

I don't know java so from the above traceback I'm guessing that the server is responding with an HTTP 403 and therefore it is unable to stream the file.
What I've tried
This one is not much of a solution but I tried switching to the react-native-video-player instead of react-native-video but that didn't work.
I tried passing the type: 'm3u8' and type: 'hls' inside the source attribute of the video tag along with the uri and this didn't help at all.
Tried to check if another m3u8 url (i.e. from another domain/server) is working, and it is working.
Downgrading react-native-video version, problem persists with different error message.
I decided to ssh into my android TV and directly use curl to fetch the m3u8 file and it responds with this:
curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired
More details here: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html
curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not
establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and
how to fix it, please visit the web page mentioned above.
Moreover, many of the issues I found on github having a similar problem contain a URL that gives the same response when fetched directly with curl. Interestingly, if I use the fetch API in JS to console log the response from the m3u8 url, it works perfectly. So I'm guessing the problem is somewhere in exoplayer.
Specs
react-native : 'npm:react-native-tvos#0.69.6-0'
react-native-video : '^6.0.0-alpha.3'
Android TV : Tested both on a Raspberry Pi running Android TV (LineageOS I think) and an actual android tv set top box with same results.
The issue was with the user-agent header, exoplayer was setting a user-agent which was causing an HTTP 403. I had to use a proxy to figure this out and still have no clue as per why android studio was not showing the request that had an error.

4 issues on Android 9 (SDK 28)
I don't know how to fix this, please help me. I got my TestFlight running on AppleStore but it crashes when I play too much so I am trying to fix that. However, on Google PlayStore, I can't even upload due to these errors. Help me please. When I click on android stimulator to run on my unity platform it works fine, just uploading it gives me errors.
I followed this YouTube video how to upload on google playstore. I changed Scripting Backend to IL2CPP in order to enable ARM64. ARMv7 was automatically selected. Just changed Scripting backend and enabled ARM64. Made a key manager to create a key and selected release under Minify. Create symbols.zip on video it said to choose enable. However, I had these options, disabled, public, or debugging. I choose publish since this released map and zip to use on google play. I don't think I did anything wrong here but help me out, please.
Check the packages you have included in the project. They probably weren't included in the Android Manifest.
Android uses the file called Android Manifest within your app to define some basic information.
Among the information he seeks are dependences.
For example if you have implemented a function to send a notification, it will need to be included in the Manifest file.
If there are no dependencies, the app will crash.
Try exporting your game to Android Studio and running it from there. It should show you all the problems.

Noozxoide EIZO-rewire™ PRO crashing under Android 11

since I´ve downloaded the Android 11 update (Samsung Galaxy S10e; also tested with Android SDK´s Emulator running Android 11, same results), the DSP app "Noozxoide EIZO-rewire™ PRO" is always crashing when started. I know that this app was developed for Android 4.0, but it was even working properly on Android 10. I decided to download Android SDK to test in on VM and look at the logcat.
I would like to get the app working because it improves the audio quality perfectly and I don´t know any similar app like this one. I wanted to contact the developers of the app but their e-mail adress does not exist anymore.
I don´t have any experience with developing apk´s, but maybe someone can help me :)
I have already read some logcat explanations and guide to migrating apps to Android 11 on developer.android but it didn´t really help me with this.
Maybe can someone explain to me what´s happening in this logcat part:

Thanks in advance
PS: sorry for my misstakes in English :)
From the Google Play Store comments for that app, support is no longer available, and due to framework code changes won't work on modern Android
Similar to: Compile error: Cannot find symbol AudioEffect::setParameter in Android Studio
A quick check of the source shows that in old version of Android:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/5bb8f80/media/java/android/media/audiofx/AudioEffect.java
No annotation was on setParameter(...)
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/refs/heads/android11-d1-release/media/java/android/media/audiofx/AudioEffect.java
While in newer ones the setParameter(...) functions is now hidden by #TestApi and throw an exception if not initialized correctly.
Any fix will require developer to update code.
I have the solution you're looking for. I downloaded an app from the Play Store called App Cloner, and ran Noozxoide through this program to create a cloned apk. The cloned app installed perfectly and worked fine on Android 11.

App crashes with the error INVALID_STATE_ERR

I am using react native. I am getting the crashes on crashlytics with the error INVALID_STATE_ERR.I am using FireBase Crashlytics. I am also using MQTT client for making web socket connection.
I am not able to figure out the reason of crashing the app. Is it due to the MQTT WebSockets or due to the error occurring on javascript thread? I am also not getting any relevant message from the stack trace either.
I am pasting my Stack Trace below.

Can I get more insight to fix this issue?
According to this Wix GitHub issue, it is caused by:
Too many views on older phones. RNN added a few nested views, but it appears I may have too many anyways.
That issue links to a pull request on React Native's GitHub repo, which should now be merged in. It mentions the issue is on pre-API 21, so I suggest you try your code on later APIs and see if it persists.
Either way, reducing the number of views (or requests, in this case?) seems a good first step.
