We’re running a hybrid Flutter/native iOS app. Since a release we did at the start of October we’ve started getting a growing number of these crashes, seemingly only affecting iOS 12 devices, and almost always around 50 seconds after the app launches:

The first release that these started happening in was using Flutter 3.10.0, and a more recent update that still has the problem is on the more recent Flutter 3.13.9.
Because it seems to be coming from within iOS itself (MLKit? Machine Learning kit? – we don’t consciously use this at all in our app) it’s hard to know where to look for a cause… iOS 12 is the latest version that various devices are able to update to, so just telling the user to update iOS isn’t an option. But presumably it is related to something we’ve changed in our code, because it started so suddenly after our app update – I just can’t see any obvious causes by looking at the diffs.
Has anybody else experienced this, and if so, did you manage to find the cause?
Our app does use Firebase as well.
