Console is flooded by "F/otapreopt_chroot(): No activated com.android.art APEX package."

After some random time my Android Studio console is flooded every second by the following errors:

F/otapreopt_chroot(14798): No activated com.android.art APEX package.
F/otapreopt_chroot(14812): No activated com.android.art APEX package.
F/otapreopt_chroot(14825): No activated com.android.art APEX package.

I could not trace down, what causes this to start. This problem persists after rebuild and stop/start run. I could also disconnect the phone with no effect. Then at some point the problem suddenly disappears (mostly after disconnecting the phone and wait some time). I could not find any further information for this yet and have no idea what I should look for. Any ideas?

Environment:

  • Test device: Motorola moto e20
  • Android Studio Hedgehog | 2023.1.1 Patch 1
Solution

  • I found the reason for the problem:

    The error occurs, when the Motorola Update Service performs a software/security update. As long as the Android system notification (about the security update) is not clicked/removed and the device stays connected the Android Studio console keeps getting flooded.

    1. Click/acknowledge the Android system update notification

    2. disconnect and reconnect the device usb

    Now the message does not appear anymore.
