Got recently this crash from Crashlytics:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.io.OutputStream java.lang.Process.getOutputStream()' on a null object reference

It doesn't show on the stacktrace anything about my app. However, I have some logs I've reported before, which might help.

if (savedInstanceState == null) {
    val cachedShell = Shell.getCachedShell()
    if (cachedShell?.isRoot == false)
        cachedShell.close()
    viewModel.getRoot()
}

The getRoot is as such:

@UiThread
fun getRoot() {
    Shell.getShell {
        val hasRoot = it.isRoot
        liveData.value = StatefulData.Success(hasRoot)
    }
}

Sadly I don't know what was truly called here, but pretty sure it entered this block of code because that's the only place that uses the library at this point.
