I can see following crashes in the app. I got the code from the official Koin samples repo. any ideas?

Error:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.IllegalStateException
Koin context has not been initialized in rememberKoinApplication


Code:

import android.app.Application
class MainApplication : Application() {
override fun onCreate() {
super.onCreate()
instance = this
}
companion object {
var instance : Application? = null
}
}


I suspect the app is in background when this crash occurs. It is happening on One Plus device only though.

did you tried https://github.com/InsertKoinIO/koin-getting-started/blob/main/ComposeMultiplatform/composeApp/src/commonMain/kotlin/org/koin/sample/App.kt#L29

[Karan Sharma]

Yes, it's there.

This issue is happening probably when the app is in background and not all the time.


I suspect it is something to do with this way of providing application context. IS there any better way to do this?

override fun onCreate() {
    super.onCreate()
    instance = this
}

companion object {
    var instance : Application? = null
}

I'm working on something better to help for such case

[Karan Sharma]

Looking forward. To it

Any solution to this?
I am facing the exact same issue.

Fatal Exception: java.lang.IllegalStateException
Koin context has not been initialized in rememberKoinApplication

Although my crashlytics marks it as a fatalError, Surprisingly it doesn't crashes the application.

The way I am initializing koin in my common App.kt file is as follows

fun App(
    prefs: DataStore<Preferences>,
    onAppStateChanged: (AppState) -> Unit = {}
) {
    MaterialTheme(colorScheme = LIGHT_COLOR_SCHEME) {
        KoinApplication(
            application = {
                modules(
                    module {
                        single<DataStore<Preferences>> { prefs }
                    } + appModules
                )
            }
        ) {

you need to setup an android context at start

in your section:

KoinApplication(
            application = {
