This is a hard one. We can't easily read native crashes from that Motorola device since their system image is not public. I assume you can't reproduce this either, but if possible can you try using WorkManager 2.0.0 or 1.0.1-rc01? This would help track down the possible changes that might have introduced this issue. Thanks!

We actually did reproduce it, the current store version of Pocket Casts has WorkManager 2.0.0 and this bug if you want to try and test something. I will try 1.0.1-rc01 and report back.

Is there a difference between 1.0.1 and 2.0.1? We tried 2.0.1 and it was crashing, if there is a difference I can try 1.0.1 but I thought they were the same?
Description
Version used: alpha09
Devices/Android versions reproduced on:
When using WorkContinuation.combine to join multiple works before continuing, it has a check in it to make sure it's acutally combining multiple WorkContinuations. I think this check is uneccessary and annoying, and adds a hard to find bug in implementations. The combine() method could easily just do nothing if there's only a single WorkContinuation passed to it.
Current use case:
I'm uploading a number of photos, which I'm splitting into a number of WorkContinuation lists so that several happen in parallel. If I only have one photo to upload then obviously I can only split this into one list of work, and the app crashes because WorkContinuation.combine() 'cannot' combine a single item. To fix this I have to have this code:
```
val allCombined = if (workLists.size == 1) workLists[0] else WorkContinuation.combine(workLists)
allCombined.then(....
```
which is much less nice than the original code which I think should work:
```
WorkContinuation.combine(workLists)
.then(....
```
