Could I ask how you managed to make this happen, if you still remember? Sorry this is late lol.

A possible fix for this would be to convert intent variable from lateinit to a getter:

val Context.intent: Intent
    get() = Intent(this, CrashDetectorService::class.java)

or to a regular function:

private fun getIntent(context: Context) = Intent(this, CrashDetectorService::class.java)

This would fix lateinit var not getting initialized but I'm not sure if there's a performance impact on spawning Intent objects, although a slight impact would not matter if it fixes the crash.

@X1nto Yeah, I was thinking that as well. Not gotten around to fixing it yet as there's a bunch of life stuff that's been happening for like the past month. Thanks for the reminder about this issue, I'll get to it when I can :)

@X1nto Made a quick thing here, would this also work? https://github.com/TacoTheDank/Scoop/commit/4cdd2acc78cf5702e9c1d5293fda6f6a60d7d1a8

Quite possibly, it might fix the crash. Can't say anything until the issue author tests it :)
