You mentioned that this error rarely occurs, do you have a rough estimate on the frequency of this crash? I tried to create a self contained reproduction for this case but I couldn't get it to crash:

App14.zip

Does this app crash on your device? If not, would you be able to attach a self contained reproduction that is failing for you?

[ivmazurenko]

@pjcollins Hello, and thank you for your quick response.

We have about 3-5 reports at week. This error does not reproduces on my device.

If not, would you be able to attach a self contained reproduction that is failing for you?

As I understood, attached file and included stacktrace contains all required info. This class just instantiated and crashes the android app. It is just included to xamarin native android application. Maybe i will have a time for a repro, but a little bit later.

I have tryed to investigate similar exceptions, can it be related with these posts?

@ivmazurenko looking at the stack trace, I don't think we actually have the full picture here.

What is the code for the Action being passed into this class? Does it use DateTime.Now or other System.DateTime-related APIs?

Nothing in the attached Executor.cs file should be using TimeZoneInfo where the crash is occurring.

You could wrap the Action in a try-catch, as a way to prevent the crash:

public void Execute(Action action)
{
    Action wrappedAction = () => {
        try { action(); } catch (Exception ex) { Log.Debug ("YourAppName", "Unhandled Exception: {0}", ex); }
    };
    // ... rest of the code uses wrappedAction
}

But you probably want to actually figure out what is wrong.

@ivmazurenko Would you be so kind and provide more info and feedback? Thanks.

Closing for now, let us know if you can send more info, thanks!
