Increased ANRs in Android after releasing 126

[Philby Dias]

Hello,

We recently released our Android application after upgrading to Chromium 126 from 114 and we notice an increase of crash rate by 0.46%, significantly higher than the previous releases which were around the 0.18%. We also notice the ANRs have jumped by 2% compared to previous release, and is now quite higher than the good behaviour threshold. Please find the logs of the most high occurrence issues attached.

In addition to the chromium upgrade, we also set the is_high_end_android flag to false, as the APKs generated for arm64 in 126 are too big to upload to Play Store. We have not moved to AAB due to some issues with the files generated.

Would like to apologise for including multiple issues in a single post- trying to understand what could be possible cause of these, could it be the change to high_end flag or could this be related to 126 upgrade.

I appreciate any help with the possible root cause for this as it has put our release on hold, thank you in advance!

Best regards,

Philby
