Call NavigationUtils.openStory/openUrl(XXX,false) in onInitialization() event.

Calling NavigationUtils.openStory/openUrl(XXX,false) is not recommended becausenavigating to a new story (openStory) or opening a new app in current tab(openUrl(XXX,false)) will destroy previous/current script engine context, but due to asynchronous feature of javascript in frontend, there will be still potentially some async task in onInitialization() to be queued and executed after calling the APIs which lead to the error. These code might work well before but it's just not guaranteed to be predictable.

To achieve more stable script execution behavior, you can use a timer to delay the calling of "NavigationUtils.openStory/openUrl".

1. Use a timer to call "NavigationUtils.openStory/openUrl".

2. Move the navigating logic into timer's onTimeout() event.

3. Call the timer in onInitialization() event like "Timer_1.start(1);"
