Upgrading Xamarin.AndroidX.Lifecycle packages to version 2.6.1 makes the build fail for duplicated classes

[XDarinor]

Android application type

Classic Xamarin.Android (MonoAndroid12.0, etc.)

Affected platform version

Visual Studio 2022 Enterprise, Windows 11, Xamarin.Android, build tools Android 13

Description

Upgrading packages Xamarin.AndroidX.Lifecycle.Runtime from previous version to 2.6.1 causes a Java error:

Error in G:\NuGET\Packages\xamarin.androidx.lifecycle.common\2.6.1\buildTransitive\monoandroid12.0\..\..\jar\androidx.lifecycle.lifecycle-common.jar:androidx/lifecycle/DispatchQueue.class:
Type androidx.lifecycle.DispatchQueue is defined multiple times: G:\NuGET\Packages\xamarin.androidx.lifecycle.common\2.6.1\buildTransitive\monoandroid12.0\..\..\jar\androidx.lifecycle.lifecycle-common.jar:androidx/lifecycle/DispatchQueue.class, obj\Debug\130\lp\150\jl\classes.jar:androidx/lifecycle/DispatchQueue.class
Compilation failed

This will happen also if the update is triggered by updating another NuGet packaged that have a dependecy on Lifecycle packages, like Xamarin.AndroidX.Fragment

Steps to Reproduce

Open solution NuGet packages, then upgrade Lifecycle related packages.

Did you find any workaround?

Just to not update the NuGet packges makes the solution work again.

Do you think this is enough? What also is needed?

@XDarinor @tbalcom

Thanks for the lists. I will try to make repro sample[s] out of those.

I'm sorry for the late answer. I don't have a repro sample, but I can share the PackageReferences below:

It is OK. Thanks

Do you think this is enough? What also is needed?

I hope so. Usually it is versions mismatch of the transitive dependencies.

The workaround didn't help. I've also tried explicitly referencing the latest Xamarin.AndroidX.Lifecycle (Common, Common.Java8, Extensions) packages with no success.

@XDarinor

This is big problem:

		<PackageReference Include="Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.RecyclerView">
		<Version>28.0.0.3</Version>
		</PackageReference>

Android support libraries are not supported anymore.

Mmm this could be a great issue. I think this package could be needed for the Syncfusion Treeview. I will try tomorrow to remove it and see if everything works out.

@XDarinor

Mmm this could be a great issue.

I'm not telling this is the root cause, but Android Support causes issues with modern apps which use AndroidX.

I think this package could be needed for the Syncfusion Treeview.

Could be. Try updating Treeview. Though I think you should not need to add some dependency for Treeview manually.

Or try removing Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.RecyclerView and see what screams with errors.

I will try tomorrow to remove it and see if everything works out.

Great.
