    This looks like this issue #160357. I only created a new issue because the other was closed. We're getting this error for app built using Flutter version 3.29.3

    Hi @a-h-mzd, is that all the information from crashlytics? is there any more dump or stacktrace available? also, are you running with the --no-enable-impeller flag?

    Hi @tirth-patel-nc, that's all the information we have from Crashlytics. No, we're not using the --no-enable-impeller flag.

    Alright. I will keep the issue open based on this Stacktrace. Ideally we would require a reproducible case in order to analyze further & make it actionable.

    @a-h-mzd if possible, can you check if you’re seeing a similar stacktrace on the latest stable version?

    Hello @a-h-mzd @krfgutierrez, do you face the same issue on Flutter SDK 3.35.x?

    We have recently released a new version of our app with the latest flutter version(3.35.2) and we have not YET seen this issue.

    We still see the issue with Flutter v3.35.1. We have not yet updated to 3.35.2.

    We haven't updated yet since we're waiting for official fix instead of updating then checking if it is fixed.

    This issue still persists in Flutter version 3.35.0. I will try upgrading to version 3.35.2 to see if it fixes the problem.

    I’d like to share what I found from production analytics, because the repro is random.
    What I found (Firebase analytics breadcrumbs)
    By analyzing our Firebase Analytics / Crashlytics breadcrumbs & event logs, the ANR most commonly happens under this scenario:
    The app is playing a video resource (audio + video) at the time of the ANR.
    During video playback, an ad is shown, and in our app flow showing the ad can cause the app to transition to background (Activity stop / surface destroyed path).
    So the typical sequence is roughly:

    1. Start playing a video (using media_kit)
    2. AdMob ad is shown (or fails / transitions)
    3. App goes to background / Activity is stopped
    4. ANR occurs in nativeSurfaceDestroyed
      Dependencies
      Player: media_kit / media_kit_video
      Ads: Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) (google_mobile_ads)

    In our add-to-app scenario, the APM report showed the following logs:

    ERROR flutter [ERROR:flutter/impeller/renderer/backend/vulkan/swapchain/khr/khr_swapchain_impl_vk.cc(387)] Impeller validation: Could not acquire next swapchain image: Timeout
ERROR flutter [ERROR:flutter/shell/gpu/gpu_surface_vulkan_impeller.cc(95)] No surface available.

    We mix FlutterTextView and FlutterSurfaceView by using RenderMode.texture and RenderMode.surface. It's most likely this issue caused by FlutterTextView (i.e., RenderMode.texture) in our case.

    An internal customer in b/488786379 experienced a similar issue and also stated that switching from RenderMode.texture to RenderMode.surface seemed to address their issue, but also mentioned there are tradeoffs to that change.

    Using Flutter PlatformViewLink + AndroidViewSurface for native Android view integration

    Is there any estimated Flutter Engine version that will fix this issue? Alternatively, Is there any suggestions or workarounds to prevent the app from crashing?
