Trending and search results would never load while I was trying to test this out. I could consistently reproduce on API 31, API 33 emulated and API 30 on my phone. API 22 emulated works. The commit before yours has no problems. Search suggestions seem to work and if you look in the network tab of Android Studio's app inspection you will see that requests are actually being made for trending and search results, though for some reason the results never show up.

Interesting 🤔 Let's try 1.1.8 instead.

Yeah, it seems to be related to this issue: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/246512175

I updated the desugar library to 1.2.2 and a similar issue occurred in debug builds (release builds worked fine).

I tested and with 1.1.8 it works. I hope they'll fix this soon

I believe it's fixed in 2.0, which requires AGP 7.4.
