Thanks for the report; unfortunately, I can't reproduce the problem locally with an Android 25 emulator (started with briefcase run android -d '{"avd": "beePhone25", "skin":"pixel_3a", "system_image": "system-images;android-25;default;arm64-v8a"})

I get part of the stack trace that you've shown:

Rejecting re-init on previously-failed class java.lang.Class<androidx.core.view.ViewCompat$2>: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Landroid/view/View$OnUnhandledKeyEventListener;

That part makes sense - OnUnhandledKeyEventListener was added in API 28. It appears to be be caused by the version of the AppCompat library that we're using.

However, this doesn't cause the rest of the crash (the OverflowError: timestamp out of range for platform time_t part).
