AssertionError: No NameTypeIndex match for SHORT_STANDARD

Experiencing Crashes on Android 8.0 or 8.1? ​

If your app has ever crashed with the error message AssertionError: No NameTypeIndex match for SHORT_STANDARD, you are likely using Date() or Calendar.getInstance() to manage date and time. This issue is prevalent on Android 8.0 & 8.1.

Here’s how you can resolve this issue by adjusting your time fetching method:

Date().time // or Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis();
Instant.now().toEpochMilli() // A more reliable solution for Android 8.0 and above

The method Instant.now().toEpochMilli() offers a more stable alternative for Android 8.0+ and helps avoid the AssertionError.
