Solution 1:^[1]

Try changing your app's theme... something like this:

<style name="Theme.MyApp" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar">

I think the conflict is causing the crash.

Solution 2:^[2]

In my case downgrade was solution:

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.4.0'
