DeadObjectExceptions for 9300 and 9305 Samsung S3 on Android 4.3

[DimanAM]

Do you call Pushwoosh SDK methods in a separate process? Can you please share your AndroidManifest.xml or apk build?

Here's my manifest. What do you mean by a separate process? A Service or another app? No. Different threads? Maybe.

[n-belokopytov]

@DimanAM for an APK you can just download GetYourGuide app from the PlayStore.

[DimanAM]

This is very strange DeadObjectException usually occurs when one process tries to access an object managed by another process that has been terminated. However it seems your application indeed uses only one process.
I have made a workaround for this in 4.3.3 release.

BTW how often does this issue occur?

[n-belokopytov]

@DimanAM yeah, that's what I thought as well. This issue occurs only on 4.3 platform on Galaxy S3s, we get it 5-6 times a day out of 20 daily installs for these devices. It has started to occur approximately since Monday, the 27th of June

[n-belokopytov]

@DimanAM the new version 4.3.3 is much more stable, thank you, however there are still 3 crashes in 3 days with that stacktrace. Same as before - it's only on Samsung 9300 and 4.3 system.
