Hey @matteinn,

Could you please check if it still replicates for you on v6.5.0?

[matteinn]

Hello! I confirm this is still happening at scale with 6.5.0, I can't reproduce on my own though

Hi @matteinn , Can you please check if it's still reproducible with one of the latest releases? Thanks

[matteinn]

Hi @andremion , still happening on 6.10.0

[andremion]

Hi @matteinn , Unfortunately, I am unable to reproduce the problem on my end. To help us investigate further, could you please provide all the necessary steps to reproduce it? Thanks,

[matteinn]

No, sadly I can't reproduce either but it seems to happen at scale (not even large, we are talking about few thousands of monthly active users)

[andremion]

Do you know if those users have low-end devices?

[matteinn]

Good call, apparently it's only happening on 22 different Google Nexus 5X on Android 13 and 8.1.0. Maybe this comes from the automated tests performed by the google play store when releasing new app versions, but I'm not sure.

[andremion]

Can you confirm if those crashes come from actual users? Are they constantly happening?

[matteinn]

Can you confirm if those crashes come from actual users? Are they constantly happening?

I can't guarantee that, it's weird that it only appeared on 30 different Nexus 5X devices on Android 13 in the past 90 days.

[andremion]

OK. I will close this ticket for now since no one can reproduce it. Feel free to reopen it in case you find out how to reproduce it. Thanks,
