created issue #1

Aug 11, 2022 04:10PM

We cannot reproduce this crash in local development, we discovered this crash in runtime logs via Crashlytics.

We believe this is related to the core SplashScreen API, which we have recently introduced to our application. Additionally, the stacktrace seems to suggest the Splashscreen is part of the crash.

This is only happening on Android 12
This is only happening for Pixel users (all models)
This application does not have Proguard enabled
The crash may be transient - Reason for believing this is we see about one crash per user, which we believe on subsequent attempts the user is able to avoid this crash.

Relevant configuration:

buildToolsVersion = "31.0.0"
minSdkVersion = 23
compileSdkVersion = 31
targetSdkVersion = 31

implementation "androidx.core:core-splashscreen:1.0.0"

Stacktrace:

Hey hughesno1@, when do you add the onPreDrawListener to delay the rendering of activity? Mind providing us with a sample application?

Hi. I've received your bug and will wait for

Re comment#6, not sure which error you met.
But in general, it depends on each OEM, because they can have different release schedule.

al...@leancode.pl <al...@leancode.pl> #8Apr 19, 2023 09:49AM

Just for the record, Flutter's documentation regarding splash screens also mentions using the `setOnExitAnimationListener`, so this probably affects a great number of developers (and users):

We got a similar stack trace on Firebase Crashlytics recently. It seems to appear mostly on Oppo devices running Android 13. Is this stack trace has the same root cause as #1?

I want to use the method #clearOnExitAnimationListener as a workaround, but it exists only in the platform version of Splash Screen API. Is it possible to add this method to the AppCompat library?

fl...@backmarket.com <fl...@backmarket.com> #29Aug 14, 2024 07:54AM

If you're using the splash screen APIs & setOnExitAnimationListener, this will likely crash on some devices using Android 13. Try to not use this method, this is the only way to get rid of this crash for now.

@rebeccasg from above comments, mind forward to OPPO/OnePlus.

sa...@stagnationlab.com <sa...@stagnationlab.com> #32Sep 27, 2024 08:56AM

This is still the top crash for our app, mostly occurs on OnePlus devices running Android 13. It happens rather rarely, less than 0.01% users affected per month.

We were able to reproduce the crash conditions.

OS Version: Android 13

Device: OnePlus OP555BL1 (OnePlus Nord CE 2)

Library Version: androidx.core:core-splashscreen:1.0.1

Steps to reproduce:

Open the app
Quickly put the app to background, before splash screen dismisses
Wait ca 10s
Open the app again app from app icon
Observe the crash

Hey shabinder.hoichoi@, the crash stack on comment#34 isn't similar to others, it was crash in

Caused by android.os.RemoteException: Remote stack trace:

Can you share on which Android version and device this was happened?

Posting my stacktrace, as I don't think it is similar to anything here. I am using Native Android (no Cordova libraries nor any cross-platform usage). Interestingly enough, it ONLY affects our Android 10 builds, and not our Android 12 nor Android 14 (never tested on Android 11, nor Android 13). This has been our most prevalent crash for more than a year, now. Unfortunately, we can't simply force our users to upgrade their Operating System in order to resolve the issue. We also have no usage of the "SplashScreen API" in our applications.

Hey Dustin.McAfee@

That should be an issue in Android system server, but unfortunately Android won't maintain legacy version unless it could be security issue.

Preventing from launch activity with trampoline might help release this symptom, but not sure if it's worth doing for a specific platform version.
