App keeps crashing when Android profiler is used

Question

My app is doing some location tracking and update database when needed, the app has been running 2 days without having any issue. And now I am trying to use the Android Profiler (Android Studio 3.01), however, as soon as I turn it, it runs for few seconds and then it starts crashing the app. Anyone has an idea?
