The BCL has no ProblemDetails type, and adding a FrameworkReference to Microsoft.AspNetCore.App makes your client refuse to start on a runtime-only container.

Play Console tells you your ANR rate is over 0.47% and hands you a native stack full of libcoreclr.so frames. Here is how to get from that useless trace to the exact async void event handler that blocked the main thread, using a Looper printer, a SynchronizationContext wrapper that names the state machine, and dotnet-trace over dsrouter.
