[background-http][Android] onProgress/onSuccess throw TypeError when the upload service outlives the JS runtime (Task.fromId returns undefined)

Which package(s)

@nativescript/background-http@6.0.2 — Android only.

Environment

• @nativescript/core 9.0.20, CLI 9.0.6, @nativescript/android 9.0.4
• net.gotev:uploadservice 4.9.2 (the plugin's default)
• Reported by production users on Android; not reproducible on iOS (see below)

Issue

Task.cache lives only in the JS runtime, but the gotev upload service is a
foreground service that outlives it. If the OS kills the app process while an
upload is in flight, the service keeps going (or is restarted) and eventually
broadcasts progress/completion. The GlobalRequestObserver registered by
init() then dispatches into a fresh runtime whose Task.cache is empty,
Task.fromId() returns undefined, and the handlers dereference it right away.

Two reports from the same upload, in the order they arrived:

Calling js method onProgress failed
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'setTotalUpload')
  at onProgressReceiverProgress(vendor.mjs)
  at onProgress(vendor.mjs)
  at com.tns.gen.net.gotev.uploadservice.observer.request.RequestObserverDelegate.onProgress(RequestObserverDelegate.java:21)
  at net.gotev.uploadservice.observer.request.BaseRequestObserver.onReceive(BaseRequestObserver.kt:29)

Calling js method onSuccess failed
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'setUpload')
  at onProgressReceiverCompleted(vendor.mjs)
  at onSuccess(vendor.mjs)
  at com.tns.gen.net.gotev.uploadservice.observer.request.RequestObserverDelegate.onSuccess(RequestObserverDelegate.java:32)
  at net.gotev.uploadservice.observer.request.BaseRequestObserver.onReceive(BaseRequestObserver.kt:31)

Note the upload itself succeeded — only the JS callback blew up.

Root cause

packages/background-http/index.android.ts on main:

function onProgressReceiverProgress(context: Context, uploadInfo: UploadInfo) {
      const uploadId = uploadInfo.getUploadId();
      const task = Task.fromId(uploadId);   // may be undefined
      const totalBytes = uploadInfo.getTotalBytes();
      const currentBytes = uploadInfo.getUploadedBytes();
      task.setTotalUpload(totalBytes);

Task.fromId (L228) is a plain Task.cache[id] lookup, and all four handlers
use the result unguarded: onProgressReceiverProgress (L42),
onProgressReceiverCompleted (L58), onProgressReceiverCancelled (L90) and
onProgressReceiverError (L97).

iOS is not affected: Task.getTask() (index.ios.ts L277-287) creates a Task
when the native task isn't in the map, instead of returning undefined.

Impact

Without discardUncaughtJsExceptions this is a hard crash — the exception
escapes a native callback. With the flag it is "only" a discarded exception, but
since progress fires repeatedly, a single orphaned upload produces a burst of
them (in our case, one error report per broadcast).

Steps to reproduce

1. Start a multipartUpload large enough to take several seconds.
2. Kill the app process while it runs (adb shell am force-stop <pkg>, or let
   the OS reclaim it) — the upload service survives.
3. Reopen the app so a fresh runtime calls init() and registers the observer.
4. The service reports the resumed/finished upload and the TypeError is thrown.

Suggested fix

Guard the lookup in the four handlers, e.g.:

 function onProgressReceiverProgress(context: Context, uploadInfo: UploadInfo) {
      const uploadId = uploadInfo.getUploadId();
      const task = Task.fromId(uploadId);
+     if (!task) {
+             // Upload started by a previous process: there is no JS task to notify.
+             return;
+     }

Related (bigger, happy to file separately)

Even with the guard, the outcome of an upload started before the restart is
simply lost — the app can never learn whether it succeeded. Two API additions
would make it recoverable: letting the caller supply the upload id (it is
currently generated internally as session.id + '{n}'), and a way to re-attach
listeners to an in-flight or finished upload by id. Today the only workaround is
reconciling against the server after the fact.

Comece em packages/background-http/index.android.ts e inspecione Task.fromId junto com onProgressReceiverProgress, onProgressReceiverCompleted, onProgressReceiverCancelled e onProgressReceiverError. Reproduza com um multipartUpload longo e, se necessário, com o encerramento do processo. Considera-se concluído quando os broadcasts para uploads ausentes em Task.cache retornam com segurança sem lançar uma exceção, enquanto os callbacks normais de Task continuam sendo executados.
