Hi
similar issue to this one from 3 years ago - it has no resolution mentioned.

NullPointerException when adding an object to mobile object Spy - Mobile Testing - Katalon Community

I’m running KSE 8.6.8 on Windows 10 machine, using a preinstalled app on Android.
When I add existing objects to the Spy (after first starting it), it creates a NullPointerException and moves focus back to KSE rather than the Spy (with an error dialog as below)

.
As a workaround, it seems to be possible to ignore the alert and continue using the Spy - as long as the alert is not closed, because if it is, a new one is generated!
If the alert is ignored, multiple lines will keep adding to the dialog, as in the screenshot.
To summarise - it doesn’t look very good and workaround is not intuitive (simply ignoring errors).
Error message is below:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.jface 4 2 2024-02-22 13:14:33.951
!MESSAGE Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in: “org.eclipse.jface”.
