Session replay on Android crashed and cannot pass Play Store review

Hi team,

First of all, congrats on rolling out these features! I love it, but I also wish to report first issue :)

As soon as I enabled the session replay, for Android it will crash the devices and throw the following errors:

Here is my PostHog config:

I am unsure what the root cause is, but disabling the session replay fixes the issue.

Hello, thanks for the issue. Seems to be related to https://github.com/PostHog/posthog-android/issues/183 and https://github.com/PostHog/posthog-android/issues/161 Sadly I never managed to reproduce this issue and no one else ever provided a reproducible sample. I'll be happy if you can provide such a sample so we can reproduce and fix it, looking forward to figuring this out with you.

@hivelydev opened a PR to at least have better logging of what going on. https://github.com/PostHog/posthog-android/pull/196
