Showing security exception on Samsung Galaxt S9 (Oreo)

Question

My app runs on all other devices except Samsung Galaxy S9 (Oreo).

That is the only phone I have with oreo. All other phones it is working fine (Moto g4 plus, Samsung A8, Samsung galaxy S7, and many other).

Was any new security feature added in oreo?

I couldn't spot out it. Anyone knows?

This link helps me to solve the issue.

I had getUserId() method on my Activity. I just renamed to getUserID() (as they told in this accepted answer).

Previously it was

 public int getUserId() {
    SharedPreferences app_preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getBaseContext());
    int temp = app_preferences.getInt("UserId", 0);
    return temp;
}

Now I changed it to

 public int getUserID() {
    SharedPreferences app_preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getBaseContext());
    int temp = app_preferences.getInt("UserId", 0);
    return temp;
}

Problem solved.. For more details see the answers here.
