Viewing Jitsi participant crashes the app

[bmarty]

Probably since Jitsi 5.0.2, incuded in Element 1.4.10

• Start a Jitsi call and join the conf
• Click on the three dot menu and on "Participants"

The app crashes.

On our side you can maybe disable this menu entry, but I guess the issue has to be fixed on the Jitsi library.

Stacktrace:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean com.facebook.react.uimanager.FabricViewStateManager.hasStateWrapper()' on a null object reference

Should be fixed in the coming Jitsi SDK, see https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/issues/11375#issuecomment-1141401472

Same goes for Speaker Stats. Turning that on during an active call causes Element to crash.

@rajil thanks for the heads up. Do you know if this is also fixed by #6195?

I confirm that going to Speaker stats does not crash the app anymore.

@bmarty Clicking on Participants in Jitsi call still crashes Element version 1.4.31
