com.facebook.jni.UnknownCppException on Huawei devices and Android 9

[gbalduzzi]

React Native version: 0.59.10

We recently distributed our react native app using bugsnag as crash reporting system. We are experiencing a lot of the following exception:

com.facebook.jni.UnknownCppException · Unknown
NativeRunnable.java:-2 com.facebook.react.bridge.queue.NativeRunnable.run	
Handler.java:907 android.os.Handler.handleCallback	
Handler.java:105 android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage	
MessageQueueThreadHandler.java:29 com.facebook.react.bridge.queue.MessageQueueThreadHandler.dispatchMessage	
Looper.java:216 android.os.Looper.loop	
MessageQueueThreadImpl.java:232 com.facebook.react.bridge.queue.MessageQueueThreadImpl$4.run	
Thread.java:784 java.lang.Thread.run

The bug is only reported on Huawei (and Honor) devices running android 9 and EMUI 9.1. Here is a list of the devices experiencing the crash:

VTR-L09
CLT-L09
ANE-LX1
EML-L09
MHA-L29
SNE-LX1
BLA-L29
CLT-L29
MAR-LX1A
POT-LX1
STF-L09
VKY-L09
BND-L21
COR-L29
DUK-L09
HMA-L09
LYA-L09
STK-LX1
VOG-L29

Oddly enough, we are unable to reproduce the bug on our Huawei P20 Lite (ANE-LX1) running android 9.

Some additional info

• the error is reported from the mqt_js thread, not from the main thread
• The error happens at startup, just after the MainActivity onResume() lifecycle event
