@sanduluca did you solve the issue ?

No. We still have the crashes. Seems that it comes from react native itself

This is probably related to the View / Activity going away via some sort of user dismiss or not being ready in time - both (in this hypothesis) in a race with the code trying to access the View / Activity, such that when the code finally gets to the point where it wants to do something with the View / Activity it is null and causes the crash

This stack frame is the only place we have the ability to affect what happens next:

   at io.invertase.notifee.NotifeeApiModule.requestPermission(NotifeeApiModule.java:267)

...if that line of code were wrapped in a try/catch and caught Exception it would be possible to at least not crash, and if the API of the requestPermission call allowed for promise rejection then we could reject and expose the problem to your app calling code so you could handle it

A PR to do at least the catch + native log of the problem would be most welcome, if the API was already async with Promise going in then a reject of the promise would be fantastic as part of the PR as well.
