Issue: [Android] focus_manager _TypeError Null check operator used on a null value
Labels: c: crash,platform-android,framework,f: focus,a: release,P3,team-framework,triaged-framework

### Steps to reproduce

Not sure how to reproduce. It is potentially happening only on a Google Play review device?

Android 12, Pixel 6 Pro, and I just got a pile of errors again after submitting an app for review. 

Is there any way for me to trap the error with more detail or it's at the Flutter framework level?

### Actual results

_TypeError Null check operator used on a null value
