Flutter 3.27.x | Android 10, 11 | Crash: "drawRenderNode called on a context with no surface!" #162147
Description
Steps to reproduce
Issue Summary:
Our app uses multiple screens with WebView (flutter_inappwebview). After upgrading Flutter from version 3.24.4 to 3.27.1 to address this issue on iOS 18.2, we started receiving a large number of crash reports on Android.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Open and close multiple WebView screens (approximately 5–10 screens).
- Open another WebView screen. While it attempts to render, press the Home button to minimize the app.
- Reopen the app from the background right after that.
- Observed Behavior: The app shows a black screen, ANR logs, and then crashes.
Additional Notes:
1. Impeller Disabled:
Due to this issue, Impeller is disabled on Android:
<meta-data
android:name="io.flutter.embedding.android.EnableImpeller"
android:value="false" />2. Crash Details:
- Crashes occur 100% of the time on devices running Android 10 and 11.
- Tested builds:
- Flutter 3.24.4 & 3.24.5: No crashes observed on a Nokia 8.1 (Android 11).
- Flutter 3.27.1 & 3.27.3: Crashes consistently occur on the same device (Nokia 8.1, Android 11).
