summary

An app that gets killed and recreated leaves lost in‑memory models and flaky UI leading to crashes the claim is that this is common and testable. Methods demonstrated include non deterministic RAM pressure from heavy apps, the Samsung font trick, toggling no background processes in developer options, and a tiny open source utility called app terminator that kills a target process and reliably reproduces recreation in seconds. Practical gotchas include handling persistence, avoiding transaction too large on Nougat, and choosing flat JSON versus SQLite tradeoffs.
