The error trace you're seeing is commonly related to issues with Android's WorkManager library, specifically when the system tries to query historical exit reasons for processes. Here’s a breakdown of the possible causes and solutions:
Restricted Access to System API: The error originates from ActivityManager.getHistoricalProcessExitReasons, which accesses historical process exit reasons. This API has restricted permissions, especially on certain devices and Android versions, and may throw exceptions if accessed by an app without the necessary permissions.
OS Compatibility and Manufacturer Customization: Some Android versions or device manufacturers modify system behavior, and accessing certain APIs may trigger exceptions. WorkManager calls getHistoricalProcessExitReasons to check if the app has been force-stopped, but if the OS restricts it, it could cause an error.
Unhandled Exceptions: WorkManager’s ForceStopRunnable checks if the app has been force-stopped, using APIs that may throw unexpected exceptions. If these exceptions aren’t handled, they may bubble up and crash the process.
