Yes, see #313.
OkHttp is non-deterministic about whether it will start a Thread or not. If OkHttp has been used by something within the app prior to the crash, then it might work. If it doesn't then it should send the crash when the app restarts.

One solution that has been proposed is #329
The other is to only send crash reports at app start.

[xmenxwk]

but #329 is not merged yet.

[william-ferguson-au]

THat is correct.

\until that time you you avoid the issue by setting sendReportsAtShutdown == false.

[xmenxwk]

Can it possible that acra first try to report while shutting down, if fails, send on start ? I think acra already doing this. If this is already happening, then I should stick to it. Because this error happens on very little number of devices.

[william-ferguson-au]

Yes, I believe this is what will happen.

[xmenxwk]

yes except the app crashes when this InternalError is thrown. I think a try..catch will fix the problem :)

[PaulWoitaschek]

Same problem here.

I think this is very critical. I have a lot of users which can't start my app because of this. It would be great if a fix could be merged quickly.

[william-ferguson-au]

How are users unable to start your app for a crash which might happen on shutdown?

[PaulWoitaschek]

I don't know. I just have lots of crash reports in play store where people are reporting for example

Won't load

or

Crashes on startup

Maybe there is another crash that makes the app shutdown but while crashing this crashes again? Is that possible?

[william-ferguson-au]

That is possible.

Today,i just try ACRA. and i got same error. on my application the error just from

Double.parseDouble("xyz");

NB this is being worked in #329

[william-ferguson-au]

This has been resolved with #344
