App crash due to NullReferenceException in NSUrlSessionHandlerDelegate.DidCompleteWithError #11799

@adams-family

Description

@adams-family

IMPORTANT:

I think this problem will be somewhat related to: #9132

Steps to Reproduce

I happens on iOS, latest versions (latest iOS, latest Xamarin) very often in production (tens of crashes per day on a 2k user basis), randomly. It's hard to reproduce it in the debugger.

protected HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

void Test()
{
  try
  {
     var stringContent = new StringContent(json, UnicodeEncoding.UTF8, "application/json");
     stringContent.Headers.Add("sample", "value");
     var response = await client.PostAsync("https://....", stringContent);
  }
  catch (Exception e)
  {
     // it never hits this exception handler
  }
}

Expected Behavior

Thanks to the try/catch block this code should never cause an app crash.

Actual Behavior

The app crashes. Here is an AppCenter stacktrace:

NSUrlSessionHandler+NSUrlSessionHandlerDelegate.DidCompleteWithError (Foundation.NSUrlSession session, Foundation.NSUrlSessionTask task, Foundation.NSError error)
