Because I messedup sqlite migration, google play console is full of reports, crashlytics doesn't show any. (However google play reports are stupid because they for what ever reason strip exception messages, so its mostly useless)

FooException: ... nothingl

What I meant is that you have both apps, and the source code of both versions, so you can reproduce it on your end anyway.

Anyway, you can still fix it for future upgraders, and I think there's also ways to fix it for existing users that upgrade, and you can try it on your side. Also, I'm pretty sure some of your users are hoping that you publish a version that fixes the crashes and lets them recover their data.
