Flutter Crashes OpenGL on MediaTek

[garthvs]

Steps to reproduce

We are seeing an influx of crash reports on Google Play specific to Mediatek MT6762 and MT6765 devices since upgrading to the latest flutter version:

Flutter version 3.29.2
Dart version 3.7.2

I am trying to find a device with these chipsets so that I can try reproduce the issue.

Hi @garthvs, what device(s) are you seeing this issue on? What version(s) of android are they running?

Crash logs looks similar to #162147

[garthvs]

Here are all the devices and the chipsets so far:

Redmi dandelion Mediatek MT6762
TECNO TECNO-KD7 Mediatek MT6762d
Redmi cattail Mediatek MT6765
Redmi angelica Mediatek MT6765
Nokia ROON_sprout Mediatek MT6762
TECNO TECNO-LC8 Mediatek MT6762

They are all running Android 10 (SDK 29).

Hi @garthvs, do you use any platform views in your app and are you using the impeller or skia rendering engine?

[Inakitajes]

Same here... with latest stable 3.29.2.

• We don't use platform views directly, but we do use video_player (which, from my understanding, uses them).
• We haven't manually changed the rendering engine. As far as we know, there have been some issues that required rolling back to Skia on some devices. On Flutter 3.27, we had lots of buggy behavior and crashes with Oppo devices and MediaTek processors.

Mainly Android 10 MediaTek devices. Lots of problems lately with the Flutter stable channel. Every update fixes some issues while others arise... hoping for a solid stable version soon, we are about to pass the abnormal behavior threshold on Android.

Hi @garthvs, do you use any platform views in your app and are you using the impeller or skia rendering engine?

We are using the default Flutter engine, so I think impeller. I don't know about platform views unfortunately.

Hi,
I'm facing the same issue.
Is downgrading to 3.27.4 solve the problem?
(I don't have a real device with this issue, only see the error logs in Play Console)

Thanks for the update. Labeling this for further investigation. Might be a duplicate of #162147
