Crash on device during language change in cocos2dJs cross platform game (in Android Platform)

[hatim-developer]

• cocos2d-x version: 3.17.1
• devices test on: HTC Model One (Android Version 5), Galaxy Tab A (Android Version 9)
• developing environments
  • NDK version: 16
  • Xcode version: 11
  • VS version: 1.41.1
  • browser type and version: ( Native Android Game )

We are getting a crash whenever user changes device language & if game is in background. we are using cocos2dx-3.17.1 (Javascript) to build our games. It seems it is framework issue because to test this scenario we created new blank project & tried the same thing, it crashed.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open the game
2. Go to device settings & change the language.
3. Open the background game (that is there in background )
4. Click some buttons in game ( you should have some button that have some touch events ) --> game will crash once you click any button.

This can be prevented if you manually restart the game.

Keeping a watch on onSaveInstanceState and restarting the app at onCreate worked. https://pastebin.com/2F3X8z53 https://github.com/JakeWharton/ProcessPhoenix
