Answer 1

I had the same nasty crash.

In my case the problem was the following line inside the style: @android:style/TextAppearance.Small

this in combination with Android 13: Settings -> Display size & text -> Bold text leads to the crash even if your device is in debug mode. Remove that line to fix the crash.

Answer 2

There's probably an issue in implementation of TextInputLayout, as it can call: (TextInputLayout.java:1426)

 collapsingTextHelper.setTypefaces(this.editText.getTypeface());

with null typeface.

It happened when turning on the Bold text in Android 13: Settings -> Display size & text -> Bold text

In my case the issue was in the style of com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText.

So try to remove and fix the style of MaEditText in your case.
