Expected behavior

Crash Free

Thanks for the explanation, unfortunately, I don’t have this device and I’m not really familiar with Android development, so I made a patch, hope someone with good native experience will help

I am not aware of how, exactly, any line of java code can trigger a native crash that is not a native bug, and outside of the control of the module. It is my understanding that the nature of the java language certainly calls down to truly native (that is: C/C++/Rust/whatever) code but that if there is a crash in a .so file, then the native code is the problem - and we don’t control that.

If you are experiencing these crashes, are you calling the install referrer APIs? Stated differently: can you stop calling them, and it’s fine? Or is there no workaround at all?

No one else has reported this so I would start - if it was an urgent need - by simply commenting out those lines in the java code inside node_modules and using patch-package to make that work well in your project, while isolating (probably via stackoverflow) what is going on with oppo or vivo install referrer as their implementation appears to be crashing.

You should also triple-check all your dependencies are up to date (all the google play services, react-native etc etc)
