[Interest] Android crashes on high-end devices (Pixel, S25)

[Nuno Santos]

Hi,

I'm in the middle of a crash-elimination effort across my Android apps and I've hit a wall with a specific class of crashes I can't seem to own. They happen at app startup, before my code is reached, and show up most on high-end devices like Pixel and Samsung S25.

Stacktraces are always very similar (example below). My gut says it's something at the native/loader level but I'm not sure where to dig.

Anyone dealt with something like this? How did you track it down?

Thanks,

Nuno
