| 1 | +# WorkManager 2.10.0+ Bug Fix Verification |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## Bug Report |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +**Reporter:** Abdullah Al-Hasnat |
| 6 | +**Issue:** IllegalStateException: Not implemented at androidx.work.CoroutineWorker.getForegroundInfo(CoroutineWorker.kt:92) |
| 7 | +**Severity:** Critical - All Android users affected |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +## Root Cause Analysis |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +### The Problem |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +WorkManager 2.10.0+ changed internal behavior: |
| 14 | +- For expedited OneTime tasks, WorkManager now calls `getForegroundInfoAsync()` in the execution path |
| 15 | +- This method requires `getForegroundInfo()` to be overridden |
| 16 | +- **kmpworkmanager < 2.3.3** did not override this method |
| 17 | +- Default `CoroutineWorker` implementation throws `IllegalStateException: Not implemented` |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +### Impact |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +All tasks using: |
| 22 | +- `setExpedited(OutOfQuotaPolicy.RUN_AS_NON_EXPEDITED_WORK_REQUEST)` (default for OneTime tasks) |
| 23 | +- WorkManager 2.10.0 or higher |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +Would crash immediately upon execution. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +## The Fix |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +### kmpworkmanager 2.3.3 |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +**File:** `kmpworker/src/androidMain/kotlin/dev/brewkits/kmpworkmanager/background/data/KmpWorker.kt` |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +```kotlin |
| 34 | +override suspend fun getForegroundInfo(): ForegroundInfo { |
| 35 | + ensureNotificationChannel() |
| 36 | + val title = applicationContext.getString(R.string.kmp_worker_notification_title) |
| 37 | + val notification = NotificationCompat.Builder(applicationContext, NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID) |
| 38 | + .setSmallIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_popup_sync) |
| 39 | + .setContentTitle(title) |
| 40 | + .setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_MIN) |
| 41 | + .setSilent(true) |
| 42 | + .setOngoing(false) |
| 43 | + .build() |
| 44 | + return ForegroundInfo(NOTIFICATION_ID, notification) |
| 45 | +} |
| 46 | +``` |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +**Key Points:** |
| 49 | +- Overrides `getForegroundInfo()` to provide valid notification |
| 50 | +- Uses string resources for i18n support |
| 51 | +- Creates minimal-priority, silent notification |
| 52 | +- Separate channel ID (`kmp_worker_tasks`) from `KmpHeavyWorker` (`kmp_heavy_worker_channel`) |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +### Additional Fixes in 2.3.3 |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +1. **Chain Heavy-Task Routing Bug** |
| 57 | + - `NativeTaskScheduler.createWorkRequest()` was using `KmpWorker` for all chain tasks |
| 58 | + - Fixed: Heavy tasks (`isHeavyTask=true`) now correctly use `KmpHeavyWorker` |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +2. **Notification Localization** |
| 61 | + - Added `res/values/strings.xml` with 5 notification string resources |
| 62 | + - Host apps can override per locale (e.g., `res/values-ja/strings.xml`) |
| 63 | + - Backward compatible: Falls back to hardcoded English if resources not found |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +### native_workmanager 1.0.4 |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +**File:** `android/build.gradle` |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +```gradle |
| 70 | +// Before (workaround): |
| 71 | +api("androidx.work:work-runtime-ktx:2.9.1") // Pinned to avoid crash |
| 72 | +
|
| 73 | +// After (proper fix): |
| 74 | +api("dev.brewkits:kmpworkmanager:2.3.3") // Upgraded from 2.3.1 |
| 75 | +api("androidx.work:work-runtime-ktx:2.10.1") // Now safe to use 2.10.1+ |
| 76 | +``` |
| 77 | + |

| 138 | +## Release Timeline |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +| Date | Version | Event | |
| 141 | +|------|---------|-------| |
| 142 | +| 2026-02-16 | native_workmanager 1.0.3 | Initial bug report from Abdullah | |
| 143 | +| 2026-02-17 | kmpworkmanager 2.3.3 | Fix released to Maven Central | |
| 144 | +| 2026-02-18 | native_workmanager 1.0.4 | Updated dependency, bug verified fixed | |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +## Migration Guide |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +### For Existing Users |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +**No code changes required!** Just upgrade: |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +```yaml |
| 153 | +# pubspec.yaml |
| 154 | +dependencies: |
| 155 | + native_workmanager: ^1.0.4 # was ^1.0.3 |
| 156 | +``` |
| 157 | +
|
| 158 | +Then: |
| 159 | +```bash |
| 160 | +flutter pub get |
| 161 | +flutter clean |
| 162 | +flutter build apk |
| 163 | +``` |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | +### Notification Localization (Optional) |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +Host apps can override notification strings: |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +**Example: Japanese localization** |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +Create `android/app/src/main/res/values-ja/strings.xml`: |
| 172 | +```xml |
| 173 | +<resources> |
| 174 | + <string name="kmp_worker_notification_channel_name">バックグラウンドタスク</string> |
| 175 | + <string name="kmp_worker_notification_title">バックグラウンドタスクを実行中</string> |
| 176 | + <string name="kmp_heavy_worker_notification_channel_name">重いタスク</string> |
| 177 | + <string name="kmp_heavy_worker_notification_default_title">タスクを処理中</string> |
| 178 | + <string name="kmp_heavy_worker_notification_default_text">重いタスクを処理中…</string> |
| 179 | +</resources> |
| 180 | +``` |
| 181 | + |
| 182 | +Android will automatically use the correct locale based on device language. |
| 183 | + |
| 184 | +## Conclusion |
| 185 | + |
| 186 | +✅ **Bug completely fixed** |
| 187 | +- Root cause: Missing `getForegroundInfo()` override in kmpworkmanager |
| 188 | +- Solution: Added proper override in 2.3.3 |
| 189 | +- Verification: Both Android + iOS builds pass, demo confirms no crashes |
| 190 | +- Bonus fixes: Chain routing bug + notification i18n support |
| 191 | + |
| 192 | +**All users should upgrade to native_workmanager 1.0.4 immediately.** |
