1. Have you saw crash in real device or only in simulators?
2. Do you use dynamic feature for language ID?

Tested on Android 12 Emulator with custom executor, but cannot repro this issue.

Second crash in the description is from a real device. Experienced it myself on two different Xiaomi phones, plus lots of crashes from users in the Google Play console.
-
Dynamic features are not used in the application.
As a wild guess, I have downgraded build tools from 31.0.0 to 30.0.3, compileSdk from 31 to 30, and moved all work with Language ID to the service in a separate process (just to be sure that crash can kill secondary process instead of main). This combination is in beta for 2 days by now and I don't see any SIGSEGV crashes.

Hmm, I feel the crash might be something related to separate/secondary process.
I also changed compileSdk and targetSDK to 31 but still cannot repro this issue.
Description
Oftentimes, we have jobs that we'd like to retry - for example, if network cuts out during a background upload - but we don't want to retry them indefinitely. It would be very useful to specify this as part of the work request, especially for jobs for which we wouldn't otherwise manually track state:
```
class MyWorker extends Worker {
@Override
WorkerResult doWork() {
try {
doSomeNetworkThing();
return WorkerResult.SUCCESS;
} catch (IOException e) {
// Oh no, the network is spotty. Retry, unless this is the Nth attempt, in which case
// just fail
if (/**/) { //
return WorkerResult.RETRY;
} else {
return WorkerResult.FAILURE;
}
}
}
}
```
It would be nice if, instead, we could do this declaratively:
```
new OneTimeWorkRequest.Builder(MyWorker.class)
.setBackoffPolicy(BackoffPolicy.exponential().withMaxRetries(10)) // let's just pretend this API exists
.build();
```
The above API would specify a policy such that, if the `MyWorker#doWork()` returns `WorkerResult.RETRY` 10 times, the scheduler will consider that to be equivalent to `WorkerResult.FAILURE`.
