art::OatHeader::IsDebuggable() const Crash, Android 11, Google Ads SDK 19.7.0

Question

I get this crash on many Android 11 Devices. Target SKD is 29 with build tools 29.0.2.

Anybody else have this problem? What can we do instead of waiting for a new sdk release. I lost a few thousand users because of this crash.

Facebook had a similar problem but fix it with 6.2.1 see this thread: Facebook Audience 6.2.0 /apex/com.android.art/lib64/libart.so (art::OatHeader::IsDebuggable() const+124) on Android 11

Answer 1

It's nothing we can do for now except removing google ads for android 11 devices or suggest our users to clear play services cache & data.

Answer from google:

This is a bug at the Android platform level. Details:

Bug - https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/182081085#comment5 Source patch - https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/art/+/1642063/

Unfortunately, as described in the bug link above, this doesn't help devices that are upgrading to Android 11, and clearing cache is the workaround.
