WebAuthenticator crashes on first start of browser

[DonkeyKongJr]

Description

The error appears occasionally in our AppCenter Diagnostics logs, but now it seems we have figured out the root cause. The WebAuthenticatorIntermediateActivity crashes with NullPointerException even when using Chrome as the default browser and for the login process. However, this only crashes on the first start of Chrome where the browser wants you to login with your google account. Typically we continue without the google sign-in and our login page appears. After we entered the credentials, this error appears. If we try to login again (from our app), Google opens up without that question and the login eventually succeeds.

WebAuthenticatorIntermediateActivity.onResume
WebAuthenticatorIntermediateActivity.java, line 41
Java.Lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean android.content.Intent.migrateExtraStreamToClipData(android.content.Context)' on a null object reference

Steps to Reproduce

• Create a new Virtual Android Device
• Select that device as Target
• Start the debugger with that device
• Start the login process
• On the first start Google Chrome asks about your Google Account, proceed without the Google Accout
• Login
• Our app trows the NullPointerReference Exception

Is this a regression from previous behavior?

Not sure, did not test other versions

Did you find any workaround?

Well, if the user starts the login again, everything seems to be working fine.

@jonathanpeppers does this look familiar? Seems strange that the method would be missing as we don't really do anything with Intent.

[jonathanpeppers]

@DonkeyKongJr can you find WebAuthenticatorIntermediateActivity.java in your obj directory? What is on line 41?

The stack trace also shows onResume / startActivity, and it doesn't look like we handle a null actualIntent:

maui/src/Essentials/src/WebAuthenticator/WebAuthenticatorIntermediateActivity.android.cs

Line 46 in 9a78453

StartActivity(actualIntent);

I wonder if it's just throwing NullPointerException if you pass in null here.

[DonkeyKongJr]

Line 41 is calling the n_onResume () method.

30	public void onResume ()
40	{
41		n_onResume ();
42	}

Here is the whole content:

package crc6468b6408a11370c2f;


public class WebAuthenticatorIntermediateActivity
	extends android.app.Activity
	implements

		mono.android.Runtime.register ("Microsoft.Maui.Authentication.WebAuthenticatorIntermediateActivity, Microsoft.Maui.Essentials", WebAuthenticatorIntermediateActivity.class, __md_methods);
	}

Is it possible to attach a video of the steps you are taking so that we can try repro this?

You say:

However, this only crashes on the first start of Chrome where the browser wants you to login with your google account. Typically we continue without the google sign-in and our login page appears. After we entered the credentials, this error appears.

And then:

On the first start Google Chrome asks about your Google Account, proceed without the Google Account

Just trying to clarify the options you pick.

[DonkeyKongJr]

Sure @mattleibow,

I hope this helps. As soon as I click login and the redirect starts, the app crashes, but only if the Chrome dialog appears. After that first crash and a restart of the App, the login works.

This happens every time we create a new emulator.
