Firebase Component: crashlytics
Component version:

Describe the problem I’m receiving several crash reports from the google play console with these two sets of stack traces:

Steps to reproduce:

Unknown, this does seem to primarily happen on Android TV, these are the devices where I see this: Xiaomi MiBox S LGE K51S Sony BRAVIA 4K GB Xiaomi Mi TV Stick THEHAM UHD Android TV Sony BRAVIA 4K UR3 Sony BRAVIA VH2 Sony BRAVIA 4K UR2 NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Motorola moto e6 play Nokia 1.3

The crash rate seems to be somewhat low.

Relevant Code: I’m not sure what to put here, since this seems to be happening during crashlytics initialization, here is the associated open source project though:

Hi folks, the fix is available in Crashlytics 18.2.9. It appears it was not mentioned in the release notes.

Hi all, since this fix has been fixed and merged. I’ll be closing this issue now. Thanks!

Hi @fzurita, thanks for reporting. We’ll try to investigate this, however since the crash rate is somewhat low, this might be a race condition, as a result, reproducing this issue might be difficult. In the meantime, let’s keep this ticket open and see if our engineers might have some idea what’s causing this.

That is right, but this is included in the latest BOM, so there is no need for the override anymore. I am closing this issue.

The issue is fixed in 18.2.10. Sorry for the poor language, I meant “try” to try overriding the Crashlytics version in your dependencies, and see if the issue is fixed to confirm you got that version. Or you can wait for the next BOM and get it that way if it’s easier for you. @fdspbsteam
