Resource Not Found error res/drawable/abc_switch_thumb_material.xml after adding SwitchCompat in Android App Bundle

Question

I Know this Question has been asked several times i have read them all and have matched all dependencies so that they have same versions but this error only started to happen after adding Switch Compat as you can also see that by going through the crash report by fabric . This Error is happing not on all devices but to some by the crash report , also it has no specific Android for this crash. One More thing i am using beta versions of android because of Android App Bundle and this thing does not happen in non bundles that is Apk.

I don't know if this is the reason or not, but your base errors (`ResourceNotFoundException`) all appear to show up after a call from the v7 support library to the v4 support library. Will it still build if you remove the `support-v4:27.1.1` dependency? abc_switch_thumb_material.xml is in the v7 appcompat support library. — Tyler V, Jul 08 '18 at 02:49
Yes , you are right it builds and runs perfectly without support-v4:27.1.1 , this is the thing i was noticing , any comment how to fix it? — gautam, Jul 08 '18 at 02:58
If it builds and runs, isn't removing that dependency the solution? (Is there some other reason you need the v4 support library?) — Tyler V, Jul 08 '18 at 03:01
I don't think this would solve the problem as support design library already contains v4 library, see https://imgur.com/a/V8KD6y2 and also my code uses v4 support library extensively , thanks — gautam, Jul 08 '18 at 03:47
I'm confused then, what did you mean then by "it builds and runs perfectly without support-v4:27.1.1"? What am I missing here? — Tyler V, Jul 08 '18 at 04:17
Its because of many dependency already contain support-v4:27.1.1 therefore it is building and running without implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.1.1' as it does need it. — gautam, Jul 08 '18 at 04:39
Did you find solution to that problem? I'm experiencing similar issue. Crashes caused by android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException ... `res/drawable/abc_switch_thumb_material.xm`. My support dependency is `androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.2`. It started when I switched to bundle instead of apks. — fada21, Jan 10 '19 at 23:15
No not till now refer this:-https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50471888/android-app-bundle-introduces-resource-not-found-crash-in-android-app — gautam, Jan 12 '19 at 08:35

Based on your error messages, the base error (ResourceNotFoundException) shows up after a call from the v7 support library to the v4 support library where it can't find abc_switch_thumb_material.xml (which is in the v7 library).

Remove the dependency on com.android.support:support-v4:27.1.1 from the gradle file if possible.

If your project has munufuingEnabled and shrinkingResourses == true - add the following line to your proguard-rule

-keep class com.google.android.material.R$drawable { *; }

i am not sure what the root cause of the crash is, but the crashes stopped when i switched to using <Switch>

both <SwitchCompat> and <SwitchMaterial> caused crashes in production
