Sentry Issue: JETPACK-ANDROID-S3H

Investigation Notes

• This crash seemed to take off when the sync_publishing feature flag was switched to 100%. It has since been switched back to isAutomattician and 1%. The team has been unable to recreate the crash, but suspect some type of race condition possibly with the handling of the onPostChanged in StorePostViewModel.
• There are an additional two places that might be causing the issue is PostStore.getPostByLocalPostId and PostStore.loadPostByRemotePostId. They will return null if the post can not be found, which will lead to setting the post to null in EditPostRepository.loadPostByLocalPostId and EditPostRepository.loadPostByRemotePostId. The former method is called from the storePostViewModel.onPostUpdateResult.observe in EditPostActivity. If by some chance, the post is set to null it will screw up all subsequent calls.

fun loadPostByLocalPostId(postId: Int) {
        reportTransactionState(true)
        post = postStore.getPostByLocalPostId(postId)
        savePostSnapshot()
        reportTransactionState(false)
    }

and

    fun loadPostByRemotePostId(remotePostId: Long, site: SiteModel) {
        reportTransactionState(true)
        post = postStore.getPostByRemotePostId(remotePostId, site)
        savePostSnapshot()
        reportTransactionState(false)
    }

Of course, if either of those methods I mentioned above are null it could throw a wrench into making a call to one of the properties. Not the best of situations.
