Are there situations when viewLifecycleOwner.lifecycleScope.launch (instead of launchWhenStarted) would crash if it collected a value while the app is in the background?

Sure, if you do a FragmentTransaction in response to that value changing, that is only guaranteed to be safe if you're started, hence launchWhenStarted would never crash, but launch certainly could

Thank you!
