Error inflating class androidx.appcompat.widget.FitWindowsFrameLayout after migration to androidx

Question

I made a migration to AndroidX, then I'm getting an error if I try to run the project into an emulator with API 29.

There is no problem in emulators/real devices with API 28 and previous.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{ [...]}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #23 in [...]:layout/abc_screen_simple_overlay_action_mode: Binary XML file line #23 in [...]:layout/abc_screen_simple_overlay_action_mode: Error inflating class androidx.appcompat.widget.FitWindowsFrameLayout

If you are using Calligraphy Library, make sure to update to the 3+ version as mentioned by the author here: Issue #475

 dependencies {
    implementation 'io.github.inflationx:calligraphy3:3.1.1'
    implementation 'io.github.inflationx:viewpump:2.0.3'
}
