Lightroom for Android consistently crashing on cropped photos

Hi,

I've been encountering a bug that made Lightroom for Android hardly usable for me in the few months I used the service. I've reported the bug through the Android crash reporter, until I realized that this might be a more visible place for bug reports.

In short: Lightroom Mobile crashes consistently when I open certain photos. It seems to happen only on certain cropped photos, but it happens consistently. I initially thought it affected only the photos that I cropped on mobile, when I changed app view (e.g. swipe to another photo, or go back to the gallery view) before it could be backed up to the cloud. However I recently noticed that it's happening also on some photos that I cropped via web and macOS clients.

Rebooting, cleaning the cache, app data, and even reinstalling doesn't help. Updating the app doesn't help either.

I looked at the ADB logs when the app crashes, and the relevant lines before and after it crashes are:

The app crashes at this point, on com.adobe.lrmobile.material.loupe.render.c.onDraw(LrMobile:20). Android terminates it, like if there was a memory access violation in the unmanaged code of the image renderer (called "loupe", if I understand correctly). See below:

Then the app automatically restart. In some cases, after the crash, Android lets me send a crash report, which you should be able to see on your end.

Some information about my setup:

Hardware: Pixel 6 Pro.

OS: Android 12, latest stable.

App: Lightroom Mobile for Android version 7.4.1

Happy to provide more information or to help debug this issue - this is making my job harder and it's defeating the purpose of using Lightroom CC for me.

Thanks
