Solution 1:

this issue has been fixed as commit https://github.com/GoogleChrome/custom-tabs-client/commit/51a4ff1d07d8507b934fc9d9af226a969b6c4674?diff=split#diff-39c75633d34184d98d2495b5686172dbL132-R136

you can update the version in gradefile, it should work

implementation 'com.github.GoogleChrome.custom-tabs-client:customtabs:d08e93fce3fb3e1f22214ee2f23fddc4f4e92634'

as you can check the diff, the validate function has been deleted.

session.validateRelationship(CustomTabsService.RELATION_HANDLE_ALL_URLS, uri, null);

However, as google team mention on readme that we should use Adnroid Browser Helper instead.

Please use the Android Browser Helper library instead. It contains the same functionality updated to work with AndroidX. https://github.com/GoogleChrome/android-browser-helper
