Goals

<!--- What are you trying to achieve? -->
We're using Realm as basis for our logging platform. The application we develop is a Xamarin.Native android app. One of the requirements is that fatal crashes should be logged to realm as well. Thus, we subscribe for unhandled exceptions and whenever a fatal exception occurs, we try to log it inside Realm.

Here's the code which subscribes to fatal exceptions

 AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += CurrentDomain_UnhandledException;

And here's the piece that handles it

 void CurrentDomain_UnhandledException(object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
        {
            var crashFilePath = Path.Combine(System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData), "Logs.realm");
            using (var realm = Realm.GetInstance(new RealmConfiguration(crashFilePath)))
            using (Transaction tx = realm.BeginWrite())
            {
                realm.Add(new RealmLogMessage
                          {
                               Message = (e.ExceptionObject as Exception)?.ToString()
                          });
                tx.Commit();
            }
        }

However, on the line where I do

Realm.GetInstance(new RealmConfiguration(crashFilePath)))

the application crashes with no feedback why.

I tried to write a file to that same location and it worked. I'm not sure why the issue is with realm, and Realm can't write the file when application is in this state.

Expected Results

<!--- What did you expect to happen? -->
I expect RealmLogMessage to be inserted into the database successfully

Actual Results

<!--- What happened instead? -->
<!--- e.g. the stack trace of a crash -->
Instead application crashes

Steps to Reproduce

<!--- What are steps we can follow to reproduce this issue? -->

1. Launch the sample app
2. Press the button
3. Application crashes
4. Unhandled exception event raised
5. App quits
6. Relaunch the app
7. Observe that

   Realm.All<RealmLogMessage>()

   returns nothing
