getManager() in AnnotationController.kt Crashes

[darshan-cygnet]

We are using the Mapbox library in our Flutter application, along with Firebase Crashlytics integration.

During app usage, we encountered a crash that appears to originate from a Mapbox library method and likely requires attention from the Mapbox team.

The crash occurs in the getManager() method while fetching the manager for PointAnnotationController. Ideally, the code should first verify whether a manager exists for the given ID before attempting to fetch it. If the manager is not found, it should return an appropriate message or handle the case gracefully instead of throwing an exception — since this crash also affects the overall stability of the application.

Problem Description
Expected Behavior (according to SDK documentation):
Annotations (markers, shapes, or other overlays) should be safely created and managed only after the Mapbox map instance is fully initialized.

Actual Behavior:
The app crashes with a RuntimeException – “No manager found” – when annotations are created before the Mapbox map is fully initialized.
The crash occurs within AnnotationController.getManager, indicating that the annotation manager is null or not yet registered.
