[impeller] App with impeller running crashes on Android 10, API 29 (only) #174282
Description
Steps to reproduce
It happens every time I run the app we develop (Fiper). I don't know the cause.
I noticed it first with Flutter 3.29, but it can be older than that.
No debug errors, whatsoever. The app just stops and cannot continue.
This is on the simulator and on a device. Only SDK 29
If I disable impeller, everything is ok
I don't know what to add. Maybe other users have the same problem?
Expected results
no crash
Actual results
crash
