Crash when launching app with latest update

See original GitHub issue

Hi!

With the latest update, the app crashes as soon as it starts. If I switch back to the old library, it works as it should. I’ve tried to rebuild all, but still same problem.

My project was migrated to AndroidX some months ago, so that should not be any issue. Running on Android 7 on an emulator. (My project doesn’t use any kotlin code, if that matters.) I’m using this library together with Calligraphy3.

Here is the stack trace:
