Android Pie migration

[V1rus999]

From the android developers website: "With Android 6.0, we removed support for the Apache HTTP client. Beginning with Android 9, that library is removed from the bootclasspath and is not available to apps by default."

There is a workaround where you have to add: to the manifest.

Are there any plans to remove apache and use something else?

@V1rus999
Could you please let me know what is the workaround to resolve this issue?
I tried with Android 9, it's not working.

Apologies I thought I added it to the OP.

<uses-library android:name="org.apache.http.legacy" android:required="false" />

Needs to be added to your manifest file under the application tag.

Thanks for the quick response . It's working fine now. Still I feel this should be handled at SDK end. What is your thoughts on this?

@Prashanthlkv I haven't looked at why Notification Hubs uses the apache http library, but my thought is they can replace it with something else.

Getting this error too, my error logs show "Didn't find class "org.apache.http.Header" on path: DexPathList[[zip file ...."

The work around stated above worked. You can find the Android documentation about this issue here https://developer.android.com/about/versions/pie/android-9.0-changes-28#apache-p
