Bump! I found similar problem. Android app crashes when I try to set text on a textfield with no font set through TextFormat. This is for the Next, on Legacy it works fine. I tried the PiratePig sample and the results are as follows.
When embedFonts is false and font is not set the error is:
libc F Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 2, fault addr 0xa1501354 in tid 13181 (SDLThread)

When embedFonts is true but the font is not set then this happens:

I guess it is supposed to use default system font just like in Legacy but it crashes.
The versions are:
haxe: [3.2.1]
hxcpp: [3.3.49]
lime-samples: [2.6.0]
lime: [2.9.1]
openfl-samples: [3.3.1]
openfl: [3.6.1]
If you read my post carefully you will see that those ‘first 4 hits’ are not so relevant or miss important information that I have provided. I’m not desperately looking for help, downgraded to 2.9.0 and that suits me. I’m just leaving my findings with hope that this will help someone fix this issue.
On second thought, I’m not so sure. Sorry. I’ll run tests and see if I can isolate the problem (which, it seems, is the fact that Times New Roman, the default font, is not available on Android)
