Expected Behavior

The app should run

Actual Behavior

The app crashes on the users' devices

Steps to Reproduce

Unfortunately we don't collect any such data to Crashlytics

Context

The app tries to continuously monitor the location of the user (when the function is turned on) to show certain messages when relevant. There are 5, seemingly different crashes, but they only differ in the callback function being called.

It seems, the crash is related to "Force stop"-ing the app from the App Info dialog.
