Appcompat version 1.2.0 breaks resource interception

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug I think the interception broke again with AppCompat 1.2.0. My libraries versions:

    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:$kotlin_version"
    implementation 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.3.1'
    implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.2.0'
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.3.0-alpha02'
    implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.1'
    implementation 'androidx.navigation:navigation-fragment:2.3.0'
    implementation 'androidx.navigation:navigation-ui:2.3.0'
    implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-livedata-ktx:2.2.0'
    implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-ktx:2.2.0'
    implementation 'androidx.navigation:navigation-fragment-ktx:2.3.0'
    implementation 'androidx.navigation:navigation-ui-ktx:2.3.0'
    implementation 'androidx.preference:preference-ktx:1.1.1'
    implementation 'androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4:1.0.0'
    implementation 'androidx.browser:browser:1.2.0'
    implementation 'androidx.webkit:webkit:1.3.0'
    implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-android:1.3.8'

I tried the configChanges workaround from #23, but it seems to not help this time around.

To Reproduce

Update appcompat to 1.2.0
Default app strings are used instead

Expected behavior

Injection works

After trying to understand what’s going on, it looks like AppCompat 1.2.0 changes how context wrapping is done, even tho I don’t see any official notes documenting it

After a lot of investigation and time wasted, this answer provided the solution

Steps to make it work on AppCompat 1.2.0

Create BaseContextWrappingDelegate, and apply context wrapping there

class BaseContextWrappingDelegate(private val superDelegate: AppCompatDelegate) : AppCompatDelegate() {
    [...]

    private fun wrap(context: Context): Context {
        return ViewPumpContextWrapper.wrap(Philology.wrap(context))
    }
}

Remove attachBaseContext override from Activity
Override getDelegate in Activity

private var baseContextWrappingDelegate: AppCompatDelegate? = null

override fun getDelegate() =
        baseContextWrappingDelegate ?: BaseContextWrappingDelegate(super.getDelegate()).apply {
            baseContextWrappingDelegate = this
        }

Profit!
