Missing rives on Android 8.1.0

[jacek-cieslak]

Description

We reported an issue where Rive animations are missing from our application on Xiaomi Mi Play (MIUI Global 11.0.10 | Android 8.1.0) from [9.13.1] lib version. In your example, it crashes with any sample on the Xiaomi Mi Play:

On other android devices like LG Q6 (Android 8.1.0) or Emulator with same Android OS is ok.

Device & Versions (please complete the following information)

Device: Some devices with Android 8.1.0
Rive version: (app.rive:rive-android:9.13.1) or newer

Hi @jacek-cieslak. Thanks for the report. That stack trace looks to be from the new Compose implementation. Would you mind testing if this also crashes on non-command queue implementations, i.e. any other sample other than the first? That would help us narrow down whether this is specific to that implementation or something deeper in the runtime.

HI @ErikUggeldahl. Thank you for your reply

Stack trace after opening the SimpleActivity:

Hi @ErikUggeldahl
After updating Rive to version 10.4.4, the sample project stopped crashing, but the animations still weren't showing, as can be seen here #411.

I found that changing the render type to RendererType.Canvas before loading any Rive animations solved almost all of the problems on my device, except for the RiveUI component, for which the animation still doesn't load.
