• Does this problem also occur in the Sample Application provided?
  • Yes

Additional Information:

Apart from these, I can say that the test application was successfully built in Air 3.1.1.135 version and there was no crash. But Google Play Store now requires app bundle and minimum api target must be 31. For this reason, I had to work on the new AIR version. To create an application bundle, a minimum of JDK 11+ is required. For this reason, I updated the JDK path. If the JDK is not changed (using jdk1.8.0_291) there is no crash.

There is a situation where exactly the same problem is experienced, here it says that the problem is caused by the incompatibility of some District Ane files, and it has been resolved by updating it. I guess it might be related to playservices-base. (airsdk/Adobe-Runtime-Support#934 (comment))

I've been searching for AIR issues for hours, but no solution is found. That's why I wanted to write here. I hope a solution can be found.
