Smartphone Info:










Device
OnePlus7


Android Version
Android 10 OxygenOS 10.0.2



Additional context
The App runs fine on android versions < 10.
It seems to occur because of some outdated dependency libraries.
Since on android sdk 29, androidx has components been made mandatory ,
It might be that one of the library most probably Android-Iconics is causing the issue ( As checked from the logs ).
Currently the fast work-ground can be to use SDK 28 to build the project.
Would you like to work on the issue?


 Yes
 No
Other:
For fast solution I can create a PR to downgrade the sdk to 28 ,
Need your suggestions and reviews.
