Dependency Versions

    // stripe
    implementation "com.stripe:stripe-java:26.4.0"
    implementation "com.stripe:stripeterminal:4.0.0"

Hi @jayjah

According to our documentation, you should replace implementation "com.stripe:stripeterminal:4.0.0" with

    implementation "com.stripe:stripeterminal-taptopay:4.0.0"
    implementation "com.stripe:stripeterminal-core:4.0.0"

Can you try removing the line implementation "com.stripe:stripeterminal:4.0.0" and let us know if this issue is still occurring?

Also, since this is only occurring in release builds, it seems like there might be a minification issue too. Can you provide any further details on your release build setup? Are you using proguard/dexguard?

If the above fix doesn't work, try adding the following to your proguard config:

-keep class com.stripe.** { *; }
-dontwarn com.stripe.**

[jayjah]

Hi @sidhant-stripe, thank you for your response!

Unfortunately it's not possible for us to remove implementation "com.stripe:stripeterminal:4.0.0", because we use tap to pay and a bluetooth scanner from stripe within the same application.

Furthermore our proguard config already includes those lines.

Just for clarification:
This error does NOT happened with version 3.8.0 which was our last version where everything went fine.

hi @jayjah, I've checked internally and confirmed that you do not need to include the stripeterminal dependency if you're including stripeterminal-core. Will continue to investigate, but in the meantime can you remove that line and see if you're still getting the same error?

A serial number for the device, account ID and approximate date/time when you encountered this issue would also be helpful if you can provide them.

[jayjah]

@sidhant-stripe Unfortunately the same error occurs when I remove stripeterminal as a dependency.

Sure, here are all information you asked for:

Device ID: 89033023427100000000027390897104
Monday, 18. November 08:35-08:37 (GMT+1)

I'll provide the account ID as soon as I got it from my co-worker.

@sidhant-stripe Unfortunately the same error happened with version 4.1.0 and com.stripe:stripe-java:28.1.0.

Current stripe dependencies looks like the following:

    // stripe
    implementation "com.stripe:stripe-java:28.1.0"
    //implementation "com.stripe:stripeterminal:4.0.0"
    implementation "com.stripe:stripeterminal-taptopay:4.1.0"
    implementation "com.stripe:stripeterminal-core:4.1.0"
