NoMethodFound crashes with new beta01 releases

[rvandermeulen]

Description

I recently ran some tests with the newly-available beta01 builds, but I'm seeing NoMethodFound crashes when running our test suite in Firebase. From what I can see, somehow Tracing is being included transitively and is somehow being force-downgraded to version 1.0.0, breaking the tests. We're running with AGP 8.4.0. Is there a way for AndroidX Test to force the usage of 1.1.0?

Expected Results

Tests run without error.

Actual Results

Crashes like below:

I think this issue is similar to #1755.

Thanks for the report. Yes this issue i identical to #1755

The workaround for now is to explicitly add ' implementation androidx.tracing:tracing:1.1.0' to your dependencies to force AGP to use the newer version
