Please increase the version number. And after that I faced 1 more issue. java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The style on this component requires your app theme to be Theme.MaterialComponents (or a descendant). To resolved this issue I used below lines. app:theme=“@style/Theme.MaterialComponents” style=“@style/Widget.Design.BottomNavigationView”

Thanks summerEnd.
