android-elevation property crashes on Android 5.0 devices

Environment

CLI: 5.4.2
Cross-platform modules: 5.4.3
Android Runtime: 5.4.0

Describe the bug
With recently added CSS property, android-elevation and android-dynamic-elevation-offset, an Android 5.0.2 (Lollipop) device crashes on app startup. The same app seems runs correctly on devices after Android 6.0. (we tested Android 6.0 and Android 9.0). And even on Android 5.1.1 device, the app works without crash. So we assume that there are some issues regarding to setting elevation on only Android 5.0.

To Reproduce
Just add following style to the Button element.

Button {
	background-color: transparent;
	margin: 0 0;
	padding: 0 0;
	android-elevation: 0;
	android-dynamic-elevation-offset: 0;
}

Expected behavior
No crash.

@hosikiti

Hi @hosikiti,
I tested the described scenario on simulators with Android API level 21(5.0) and Android 22(5.1) as well as on LG Nexus device with Android API level 21. However, I was unable to recreate a similar problem. For your convenience, I am attaching the project that I used for testing. Also, I am attaching a video, which demonstrates the behaviour on my side.
Can you check if you will be able to recreate the issue with the attached project?

@tsonevn

@tsonevn Thanks for your reply. We will try to check if the issue happens in your project.

BTW, the error happening in the Android 5 devices looks very similar to the following one described here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40928788/cant-call-void-android-view-view-setelevationfloat-on-null-object-in-lapism-s

@hosikiti

@hosikiti,
Can you recreate the issue with the attached project in my comment above?

@tsonevn

@tsonevn We tried your project but could not recreate the issue, unfortunately. Probably our project has some problems. So I will close this issue.
