@archie94

Hi @archie94. Thanks for the report and for using the new API. Is this a local reproduction or from analytics? Also, do you set up RiveLog for yourself? Would you be able to get the information coming out of it?

Hey @ErikUggeldahl ,
This is from firebase crashlytics.

Also, do you set up RiveLog for yourself? Would you be able to get the information coming out of it?

Not on release builds. At the moment we won't be able to give you logs from user devices but let me see if something can be done.

We are getting another crash on the same SDK version.

This too may have the same RCA as the log points to surface being null where it should not. Let me know if you prefer a separate tracker for this. This crash has a higher occurrence rate.
