Getting SIGABRT 6 in Android when running http calls in parallel #2013

From @tsequeira-vhs on July 27, 2018 14:32

Description

We have a Xamarin.Forms app which is crashing with 'signal 6 (SIGABRT), code -6 (SI_TKILL), fault addr -------- java_vm_ext.cc:534] JNI DETECTED ERROR IN APPLICATION: use of deleted global reference 0x3ce2'

We are running multiple calls to web services with HttpClient in parallel using Task.WhenAll()

The crash is random and due to this we are unable to identify the root cause.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Login (first time)
2. Set pin code (first time)
3. Enter pin code (from second time)
4. Launches a page with blue header
5. If no crash, kill the app and repeat steps from 3.

Note: To make the crash more frequent enable gref logging using the following ADB command: 'adb shell setprop debug.mono.log gref'

Expected Behavior

The app should not crash

Actual Behavior

App crashes with 'java_vm_ext.cc:534] JNI DETECTED ERROR IN APPLICATION: use of deleted global reference 0x3ce2'
