Pendrush's demo for his ML Kit Language Identification library (https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/ml-kit-language-identification.130404), crashes immediately on start up. No error is shown in the filtered logs but in the unfiltered logs I am seeing the following:

Log:

I have tried the demo on two real devices and see the same error.

In case it helps, I have the following installed:
B4X:
com.google.mlkit:language-id   17.0.3

com.google.mlkit:common   18.0.0

androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-common   2.4.1

com.google.android.gms:play-services-tasks   18.0.1

com.google.firebase:firebase-encoders   16.0.0

com.google.firebase:firebase-encoders-json   17.1.0

Some of Firebase components are updated in meantime, and this version of B4A, as I can see, don't have support for it.
This my error after added new required Firebase components:

Thanks for the prompt reply. Are you saying that it is the updated Firebase components causing the problem, or the updated version of B4A? Or you are not sure which? Either way, I guess we will have to wait for future updates.

@Pendrush, those errors look like you are using B4A 11.2 with an old version of the SDK. Try a new one.
It's new one, problems is in com.google.firebase:firebase-components or com.google.firebase:firebase-annotations or com.google.mlkit:language-id. Currently I don't have time for some deeper research.

Just to confirm that I have tried with the latest version of both Oracle Java 8 and OpenJDK 11, and am seeing the same result.
