We currently create new Services for uploading crash reports on Android. We should instead use the JobScheduler API where available, as it is (a) more efficient and (b) provides exponential backoff.
Discussed with Alex, will merge the currently committed CLs to M58 today. There is one more pending CL, which will be merged once it's ready and has had some bake time.
Requesting merge of #457584 and #457650 to M58. The stability numbers look fairly comparable between the two implementations, so we're likely not losing crashes due to the new implementation (nor does the new impl seem to itself be crashing).
This bug requires manual review: There is .grd file changes and we are only 27 days from stable.
Please contact the milestone owner if you have questions.
