Fatal Exception: PlatformViewWrapper.draw after 3.24.1 update #155018
Description
Description
We are experiencing a crash in our Flutter Android application after 3.24.1 update. The crash occurs sporadically on various screens, with a majority happening on screens that contain Google Maps, but other screens can also be affected. The issue seems to occur on different Android devices and versions, with plenty of free RAM available. Unfortunately, we have been unable to reproduce this issue locally, despite attempting to simulate extreme memory and resource conditions.
The stack trace consistently shows the exception java.lang.IllegalStateException: Surface has already been released. So far, we have observed ~800 crashes with an average of 1 crash per unique user, and we are unable to pinpoint any specific pattern.
Fatal Exception: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Surface has already been released.

Frequency
~800 crashes recorded across various devices and users.
1 crash per unique user on average.
Environment
Flutter Version: 3.24.1
Dart Version: 3.5.1
Android OS Versions: Multiple versions, including Android 10-15.
Devices: Various models from multiple manufacturers (e.g., Samsung, Google Pixel, Xiaomi, etc.).
Google Maps: google_maps_flutter: 2.6.0
Expected results
The app should function without crashing, regardless of surface release status.
Actual results
The app crashes with a java.lang.IllegalStateException: Surface has already been released error. The exact cause of the surface being released prematurely is unclear, and no specific pattern has been identified.
Code sample
but it uses reflection to access the surface. I understand there is no way for the surface to be accesses like that in real life, and of course we don't use it in our app like that, but this example can simulate the case when the surface can be released somehow by the Android system (when app is on background or any other case). Anyways the stacktrace is the same we have in crashlytics
