Hi thanks for the report @Harshal624, could you tell me the frequency of this crash? Does it always crash on that device?

[Harshal624]

I have updated the device list. It's not just one device.
According to crashlytics: This issue has 8 crash events affecting 6 users in last 90 days.

As I said, it doesn't always crash. Most of the time the SurfaceViewRenderer init works fine without crashing. But sometimes it crashes randomly.
