No implementation found for plugin dispose method mainly on Android TV devices

[under3415]

Which API doesn't behave as documented, and how does it misbehave?

Below crash is reported by Firebase Crashlytics in production from some, mainly Android TV devices. I cannot replicate.

MissingPluginException: No implementation found for method dispose on channel com.ryanheise.just_audio.methods.

Minimal reproduction project I cannot replicate this, it is happening very infrequently in prod, mainly on Android TV devices as explained on SO.

To Reproduce (i.e. user steps, not code) Cannot reproduce. My dispose code looks like this. Despite try/catch block I am getting unhandled error

 @override
  dispose() {
    try {
      _timer?.cancel(); //stop the timer
      WidgetsBinding.instance.removeObserver(this);
      _controller.dispose(); //disp[ose controller playing animations
      WakelockPlus.disable(); //disable wake lock
      _soundPlayer.dispose(); //dispose just_audio player #1
      _musicPlayer.dispose(); //dispose just_audio player #2
    } catch (ex, st) {
      FirebaseCrashlytics.instance
          .recordError(ex, st, reason: 'workoutDispose');
    }
    super.dispose();
  }

Looking at your SO question, do you know whether it is the first or second player that's crashing? If the second, it may be a bug in just audio. If the first it may be something to do with other components of your app. I can't look into that without a reproduction project.

I cannot tell, the error only has plugin code references, not my own code.

Then I don't have any way to investigate this.
