[Interest] App crashing because of ImageProvider when exiting

[Nuno Santos]

Martin,

Thanks for your reply. 

But I still can’t understand how to fix the crash related with the provider destruction. 

It seems that someone is trying to delete an already deleted pointer and therefore the crash.

Regards,

Nuno
