Lets assume we two apps, one acts as Server and the other acts as Client for a IPC Oneway call.
Now the Client performs a Oneway IPC call which includes a callback to the Server. The Server tries to process the request and suddenly produces a unchecked exception (OutOfMemory...). The Remoter Framework is now swallowing the unchecked Exception and the Client still waits for the callback to be called.
Steps to reproduce the issue
Client calls Server via Oneway call
Server produces unchecked exception
Remoter swallows exception and Server continues
What's the expected result?
Unchecked exception in case of a IPC oneway call should be thrown which leads to the death of the App.
What's the actual result?
We had a OutOfMemory on the Server side and remoter was the cause that Android wasn't restarting our App because the OutOfMemory wasn't propagated any further. Instead the App got stuck in a unusable state.
