I think a lot of app crashes are due to the fact that app developers simply don't know what to expect. This is a direct result of shoddy documentation. For example, the Android API has a tendency to return null from functions even when the documentation doesn't say it will (i.e. WifiManager.getScanResults and friends), or simply doesn't document return values at all (i.e. ConnectionManager.getActiveNetworkInfo). The Google guys aren't real stars when it comes to documenting what exceptions may be thrown either. You can't blame app developers for not gracefully handling exceptions and return values that are not documented.
