This seems to me that this is caused by Android automated tests. And that might be the Firebase test-lab. Do we run these kinds of tests somewhere?

[stitesExpensify]

I'm not sure tbh. CC: @marcaaron @roryabraham

[roryabraham]

AFAIK we do not use Firebase test-lab anywhere, but Google might use it as part of their App review. It would be pretty valuable if we could run Google's app review test suite as part of our CI, but that seems out-of-scope of this issue (and might take too long to be feasible as a PR check).

TIL https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/UiAutomation

Is this one actionable? Feels like maybe not. Can we suppress these types of crashes somehow?

[kevinksullivan]

Price doubled.

Reassigning as I'm OOO for a bit. Thanks @adelekennedy !

[stitesExpensify]

Just wanted to bump this conversation, do we think this is actionable? Or should I just close it out?

[roryabraham]

I wasn't able to find this error in Crashlytics to tell if it's still happening, so I'm going to just close this out as @stitesExpensify has suggested 👍
