nativescript-vue, @nstudio/nativescript-barcodescanner, releases crash

[gnom395]

Hello. Clean project nativescript-vue 8.4.0 plugin @nstudio/nativescript-barcodescanner 5.0.1 app crashes on release launch

[kfrahimi]

I have the same issue using nativescript-angular 8.4.0 with @nstudio/nativescript-barcodescanner 5.0.1 for my app.
It's weird that the app only crashes when I install the apk that I built for release. With ns run android everything works like a charm.

My app.gradle file:

android {
  defaultConfig {
    minSdkVersion 23
    targetSdkVersion 31
    compileSdkVersion 31

    // Version Information
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0.0"

    generatedDensities = []
  }

  aaptOptions {
    additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"
  }
}

package.json file:

{
  "name": "MyApp",
  "main": "./src/main.ts",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "@angular/animations": "~15.1.0",

The line in vendor.js where the error occurs:

const LocalBroadcastManagerPackageName = useAndroidX() ? global.androidx.localbroadcastmanager.content: android.support.v4.content;

Any help is appreciated.

I found a workaround by adding this to my app.gradle file:

dependencies {
    implementation 'androidx.localbroadcastmanager:localbroadcastmanager:1.1.0'
}
