Crash When Using Send Keys Endpoint

Appium Version: 2.5.1 and 2.13.1
Appium Espresso Driver Version: 2.44.2 and 3.5.1
Android Simulator Version - Replicated on at least Android APIs 30, 33 and 34
App Used - I've created a minimal app, with a single textfield - https://github.com/BenPela/single-text-field-app

Here are my appium options and python code used to replicate the bug

from appium.webdriver.webdriver import WebDriver
from appium.options.common import AppiumOptions
from appium.webdriver.common.appiumby import AppiumBy


options = {
    'platformName': "android",
    'automationName': "espresso",
    'autoLaunch': False,
    'newCommandTimeout': 0,
    'appActivity': "com.example.appiumbugexample.MainActivity",
    'appPackage': "com.example.appiumbugexample",
    'espressoBuildConfig': "{\"toolsVersions\": "
                           "{\"compileSdk\": 34,"
                           "\"minSdk\": 29,"
                           "\"composeVersion\":\"1.7.5\","
                           "\"kotlin\": \"1.9.25\" }, "
                           "\"additionalAndroidTestDependencies\": [\"androidx.annotation:annotation:1.2.0\"] }",
    'forceEspressoRebuild': True,
    'platformVersion': "11",
    'fullReset': True,
    'app': "./app-debug.apk",
}



aoptions = AppiumOptions().load_capabilities(options)
driver = WebDriver("http://localhost:4723", options=aoptions)
driver.update_settings({"driver": "compose"})
driver.activate_app("com.example.appiumbugexample")
element = driver.find_element(by = AppiumBy.ACCESSIBILITY_ID, value="TextField")
element.send_keys("Hello World")

Here is my log from Appium - https://gist.github.com/BenPela/74ec617e3ad768915cd144988df172b4

Any ideas how to fix this, or a good alternative to entering text in fields for now?
