I need help in figuring out the way to resolve this crash or at least reproduce it on my end. It's not visible on fabric too. I have feeling that may be its caused by the build tools 26.0.0. But not sure though.

Thanks in advance.

We started seeing this native crash on Android 6 devices after upgrading the Android support library to >25. The crashes were only visible in Google Play console.

After a lot of work we were able to reproduce the crash and locate the problem to CollapsingToolbarLayout and the "snap" flag in layout_scrollFlags. By removing the "snap"-flag the crashes was avoided.

Also read this thread: Android native crash

As pointed out in that thread - the crash is probably due to this error: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/72614327
