Steps to reproduce

It's hard to reproduce. It occur irregularly in prod only. I couldn't reproduce it on my pixel 3a.

Snack, code example, screenshot, or link to a repository

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dietdoctor.EatApp - app

Without a repo this is essentially impossible to debug. The stacktrace also has no mention of RN libraries so I'm unsure what we can do about this.

If you have Webviews in your app you could try and add androidLayerType={'hardware'} to it.
I had similar issue and that solved it for me.

[mathiastambjergsteengaard]

It sounds very similar to the problem i am having! With the same version of react-native only on android 12(pixel) devices unsing react-navigation and hermes. I am upgrading react-native hoping it will fix the issue. Please let me know if you find a solution to the problem. Are you using any other libraries? @punksta

Thanks @JensDeTaey27
Had this issue on a production app where it was crashing on a WebView only on Android 12 (pixel) devices and added your tip and it seems to be working

Link to related webview issue: react-native-webview/react-native-webview#1915

[JungHsuan]

In my case, the crash happens only when I navigate to a stack and the initial screen of the stack renders a WebView.
I solved this by simply hiding WebView until the transition animation of react-navigation ends.
I tried to set animationEnabled=false but It still has animation while opening the stack.

env:
react-native: 0.65.1
react-navigation: 6.x
react-native-webview: 11.15.0
