I check many resources [Android App Startup Crash - customtabs.CustomTabsSession.validateRelationship . But problem not solved

Try this link ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db9Y5jyparA) it works for me — Sivakumar, Dec 05 '19 at 04:40

I've experienced the same problem and the problem seems to be with dependencies towards androidx libraries together with the latest version of custom-tabs-client.

It turns out we should be using androidx.browser and android-browser-helper instead of custom-tabs-client

build.gradle:

implementation 'androidx.browser:browser:1.0.0'
implementation 'com.github.GoogleChrome:android-browser-helper:ff8dfc4ed3d4133aacc837673c88d090d3628ec8'

Do you have a source for this info? It changed the error, but I'm now seeing a different error related to the LauncherActivity: `Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo{io.bvh.layer/android.support.customtabs.trusted.LauncherActivity}: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "android.support.customtabs.trusted.LauncherActivity`. – Alex Sep 20 '19 at 18:41
Sure, I got it from here: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=983378 – Tobias Harle Sep 20 '19 at 19:07

@Alex You should probably use com.google.androidbrowserhelper.trusted.LauncherActivity instead. – Tobias Harle Sep 20 '19 at 19:24
Ah, got it. Thanks for the info. – Alex Sep 20 '19 at 19:49

I realise that there are so many variants that this will be hit or miss, but here's what I put in build.gradle:

dependencies {

// From a combination of:
//  https://medium.com/@elliatab/trusted-web-activities-for-android-developers-4d8dea3dac9a
// and
//  https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2019/02/using-twa

implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.2'
implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.3'
//implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'

implementation 'com.github.GoogleChrome:custom-tabs-client:7ab7178ae0c4858d15b1918bded4dd5cac758870'

testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'}

The same error went away with the above. Worked on Android 4.4 and on Android 9.
