Is there another dependency that needs to be updated? Or currently version 4.8.1 is not stable yet for android 9?

My device - OnePlus 6T

Answer 1

The reason for the issue is Apache HTTP client deprecation beginning with Android 9.

Add this to your AndroidManifest.xml to fix:

<uses-library android:name="org.apache.http.legacy" android:required="false"/>
