Research direction

Start at org.nativescript.widgets.TabsBar.updateItemAt in TabsBar.java, line 195, and trace the Android lifecycle path shown in the stack trace. Try to reproduce the crash with the reported NativeScript, tns-android, SDK, and Android 9/10 versions. Done means the TabsBar no longer produces this NullPointerException during the affected lifecycle path.
