It is exceedingly rare that an application will crash once properly developed, tested, and implemented. However, certain circumstances will cause applications to crash. As a prospective Doordash Android developer, you should be aware of these and program your code to avoid them if an application crashes while in production, you should be able to provide advice to the Doordash support team or end users as to how to fix it. The interviewer will ask you this question to ensure that you are aware of this and have a portfolio of solutions to address application issues.

"My applications rarely crash; however, I take immediate steps to resolve the issue when it does occur. First, I determine the device on which the application is running and whether it is compatible with the code that I have developed. While Android applications are compatible with most devices, there are a few outliers that may cause problems. Another issue is memory. If the application is competing for the system's memory, CPU cycles, or other shared resources, it may get hung up or crash. Shutting down other applications or clearing the application's cache memory typically resolves this."
