 <provider android:name="androidx.startup.InitializationProvider" android:authorities="${applicationId}.androidx-startup" android:exported="false" tools:node="merge">
    <!-- If you are using androidx.startup to initialize other components -->
    <meta-data android:name="androidx.work.WorkManagerInitializer" android:value="androidx.startup" tools:node="remove" />
 </provider>

3、 ... and 、 Custom configuration

class MyApplication() : Application(), Configuration.Provider {
    
     override fun getWorkManagerConfiguration() =
           Configuration.Builder()
                .setMinimumLoggingLevel(android.util.Log.INFO)
