quickstart-android: NullPointerException from FirebaseRemoteConfig.getInstance()

I’m seeing crashes in Crashlytics for most recent Firebase Remote Config (15.0.0) Inside Application.onCreate FirebaseRemoteConfig.getInstance is called.

It produces crash:

Caused by java.lang.NullPointerException
Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void com.google.android.gms.internal.config.zzar.zzc(long)' on a null object reference
com.google.firebase.remoteconfig.FirebaseRemoteConfig. (Unknown Source)
com.google.firebase.remoteconfig.FirebaseRemoteConfig.getInstance (Unknown Source)
com.google.firebase.remoteconfig.FirebaseRemoteConfig.getInstance (Unknown Source)
==== app's part
by.stari4ek.config.ConfigFirebase. (ConfigFirebase.java:90)

Firebase version:

implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-config:15.0.0"
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.1'

This is new issue introduced with 15.0.0. I didn’t have it with previous versions

Devices (all are android tv):

Xiaomi, Asus, Sony
Android 5/6/7

There is a new version of Remote Config with version 15.0.2. I couldnt find any release note for it. Does this have fix for this issue?
