This PR fixes a bug in
GetPlatformAppByName()
if an exception is thrown by the Java method call. The issue is that if an exception is thrown then the return value fromCallStaticObjectMethod()
isNULL
... except on KitKat, where it appears to return garbage instead. This garbage value was being returned and the caller was incorrectly treating it as a valid object reference. The fix is to check if an exception was thrown and explicitly returningNULL
in that case, instead of relying on the return value fromCallStaticObjectMethod()
beingNULL
.This bug surfaced in the integration test
FirestoreIntegrationTest.CanPageThroughItems
which was crashing on KitKat. The root cause was that it was using a custom app name and the call toGetPlatformAppByName()
was returning garbage in that case.firebase-cpp-sdk/app/src/app_android.cc
