Exoplayer Cast Extension is not compatible with Android 12 #9528
Description
Hello ExoPlayer team,
When trying to cast i'm getting this exception, this is reproducible on devices running on Android 12 only, it seems that a mutability flag is missing
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: com.x.x: Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) requires that one of FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_MUTABLE be specified when creating a PendingIntent.
Strongly consider using FLAG_IMMUTABLE, only use FLAG_MUTABLE if some functionality depends on the PendingIntent being mutable, e.g. if it needs to be used with inline replies or bubbles.

This is not a bug in ExoPlayer, but is an issue that needs to be addressed by a new release of the Cast SDK (which ExoPlayer will then need to depend on). The underlying issue is tracked by https://issuetracker.google.com/195588434, and also [Internal ref: b/195476040]. There is a similar problem affecting the WorkManager extension (#9181).
Until the Cast SDK is updated to include a fix, I think you're stuck being unable to set your
targetSdkVersionto target Android 12 (you can still use Android 12 features by settingcompileSdkVersionto target Android 12, whilst holdingtargetSdkVersionto Android 11).FunkyMuse commentedon Oct 10, 2021
That's the current workaround yes, thank you for the detailed answer.
Upgrade Cast dependency for Android 12 compatibility

You can now workaround this issue just by including
api 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-cast-framework:20.1.0'as an explicit dependency in your application. We have updated ExoPlayer's Cast extension to also use this newer version, and this change will be included in the next release.Upgrade Cast dependency for Android 12 compatibility
