@francoisl FYI I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors

[francoisl]

I'm unable to reproduce the crash on my physical device at the moment, going to look on an emulator.

[francoisl]

Unable to reproduce on a simulator either after repeating the steps 10 times. I also don't see any new crash report starting on 1.4.66 in Crashlytics, so this doesn't sound too alarming. Going to remove the blocker label for now and mark this as external in case someone is able to reproduce and see what's going on.
