NoSuchMethodError: No static method removeIf

Describe the bug We use Coil indirectly via https://github.com/GetStream/stream-chat-android and we are seeing lots of crashes with that exception:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method removeIf(Ljava/util/Collection;Lj$/util/function/Predicate;)Z in class Lj$/util/Collection$-EL; or its super classes (declaration of 'j$.util.Collection$-EL' appears in base.apk!classes2.dex)
       at coil.memory.RealWeakMemoryCache.cleanUp$coil_base_release(WeakMemoryCache.kt:173)

Since Stream could not help us with this so far, we are reaching out to you. We cannot reproduce the crash consistently, but for some users it happens quite often.

This looks like some Java 8 issue since this method is new in Java 8. We have enabled Java 8 compatibility in our project and Stream has it also in their SDK.

Excerpt from our build.gradle:

compileOptions {
    coreLibraryDesugaringEnabled true
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
kotlinOptions {
    jvmTarget = '1.8'
}

And from the Stream SDK: https://github.com/GetStream/stream-chat-android/blob/4.19.0/stream-chat-android-core/build.gradle#L18

So if you have any ideas what is happening here, we would really appreciate it. Thank you!

Version 1.2.1 and 1.3.2 (we tried different Stream SDK versions). Seems to happen mainly on Samsung devices.

@zsmb13 Actually main’s in a good state for a release so I just pushed 1.4.0 which contains the fix!

[colinrtwhite]

@zsmb13 It should be out pretty soon, but I can’t give an ETA. If you need the fix now, you should use the latest snapshot.

Also I still think this is a local desugaring issue as we use coreLibraryDesugaringEnabled=true at Instacart and don’t experience this crash.
