That Weird Compose Crash
This blog is intentionally unpolished. I wrote it directly from my thoughts, so it may include some unnecessary or awkward sentences, but I chose to leave them in. The rawness is part of its purpose.
At work, I get to work on a lot of interesting issues. And there were too many interesting stories to tell, which I don’t remember fully enough to write as a blog now. So I was thinking of documenting my next debugging session while I debug and this is that blog.
At this point, I have a crash in my hand that looks weird (i think most crash at the initial stage looks weird and here’s am no difference). So let’s debug together.
My teammate is currently trying to update our Jetpack Compose version from 1.5.x to 1.7.x (yeah, that’s a long jump). Today, he mentioned that he got a crash. He was saying the app works in one region (let’s call it R1) and crashes in the other region (let’s call it C1 - C stands for crash). He share a stack trace and it looks like this:
Based on the stack trace, the crash is happening from the ConstraintLayout library. So, he updated the version to the latest stable, which is 1.1.0-rc01, and the crash is fixed.
