Research direction
The issue reports that onActivityResult is deprecated in the latest AndroidX AppCompatActivity. The new alternative is the Activity Result API using ActivityResultContracts. The repository uses onActivityResult for handling permission results, as seen in the EasyPermissions.java file. The fix involves migrating to registerForActivityResult with the appropriate contract (e.g., RequestMultiplePermissions). The provided StackOverflow and Android developer links offer guidance on the migration. Check the comments for any additional insights from maintainers.
