Crash on android v12, unable to create application *java.io.SyncFailedException: sync failed

[ghost]

I am seeing crashes reported on Pixel 4a devices using android v12.

Crash logs,

Fatal Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create application com.simpl.android.MainApplication: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.SyncFailedException: sync failed

Versions
React native : 0.63.4
soloader: 0.9.0

Any idea on what could be causing this?

I'm also seeing the same crash in Android 12. Not a react native app, it's a native Android app. The SoLoader version that I'm using is 0.10.1

Interestingly, I found that the crash doesn't happen to every Android 12 devices, only some of it. Would be great to know the possible cause and solution for this.

Crashlytics is reporting ~50 crashes per user allegedly, we leverage Flipper & Fresco in the project

Hi @capezzbr, @selva-at-simpl, sorry for late reply. can you guys share any sample app that could reproduce this issue if it's convenience? thanks a lot.

[ghost]

Hey @simpleton, sorry for the delayed response. This error was reported by the firebase crash monitor and I am not sure how to reproduce this error.

[capezzbr]

Same, I suspect it might be happening on specific devices

[haozhutw]

Same issue for me, all the crashes are happening on Android 12 google pixel devices so far.
