Solutions

1. Verify the patch service result intent contains ShareIntentUtil.INTENT_RETURN_CODE before reading it.
2. Check that TinkerPatchService ran and delivered a result intent; a missing intent means the patch process died or was never started.

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown at tinker-android/tinker-android-lib-no-op/src/main/java/com/tencent/tinker/lib/tinker/TinkerLoadResult.java:149 when the library encounters an invalid state.

Common situations: Thrown in TinkerLoadResult.parseTinkerResult when the load code equals ERROR_LOAD_GET_INTENT_FAIL, meaning the result intent from the patch service lacked a valid return code. Often caused by the patch process crashing before posting its result.
