Hi @gledezma,

sorry for the late response, I didn’t find any time to look into this earlier.

I think what you might be experiencing is not necessarily an issue with view binding but a conflict with an additional third party dependency causing problems with a lambda invocation within the underlaying ExoPlayer fork.
Similar issues have been reported on the ExoPlayer repository, e.g. Crash ExoPlayer.Builder in android version 5 and 6 (android api 21 and 23) · Issue #9704 · google/ExoPlayer · GitHub. In that case it was related to the com.google.guava dependency.

Can you please double check your other third party dependencies and see if removing any of them fixes the problem?

If not it would be great if you could provide a minimal reproducible sample repository so we can look into it in more detail.

Cheers, Lukas
