MaterialCardView crashes with material:1.1.0

you can just keep it in your materialcardview itself also:

 <com.google.android.material.card.MaterialCardView
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      app:cardCornerRadius="8dp"
     **** android:theme="@style/Theme.MaterialComponents.Light"  *****
      app:cardElevation="8dp">
