Thanks for reaching out, @kobayashikanata. Could you confirm that you're using 2 Firebase products, specifically Crashlytics and Analytics only? That said, can you share any code snippets if there's any. Also if you're able to reproduce the issue, could you share a MCVE? It'll help us investigate this further. Thanks!

Hey @kobayashikanata. We need more information to resolve this issue but there hasn't been an update in 5 weekdays. I'm marking the issue as stale and if there are no new updates in the next 5 days I will close it automatically.

If you have more information that will help us get to the bottom of this, just add a comment!

[google-oss-bot]

Since there haven't been any recent updates here, I am going to close this issue.

@kobayashikanata if you're still experiencing this problem and want to continue the discussion just leave a comment here and we are happy to re-open this.

Hi @Ivnee, could you share an MCVE or any steps for us to reproduce this behavior?

[Ivnee]

initialization from my project

internal class AnalyticsSenderImpl @Inject constructor(
    private val context: Context,
) : AnalyticsSender {
    override val priority: Int = 1

    private val analytics by lazy { getImpl(context) }

    override fun init() {
        FirebaseApp.initializeApp(context)
        analytics
    }

    fun getImpl(context: Context): FirebaseAnalytics {
        return FirebaseAnalytics.getInstance(context.applicationContext)
    }
}

interface Analytics {
    fun init()
}

@Singleton
class AnalyticsImpl @Inject constructor(
    private val senders: Set<@JvmSuppressWildcards AnalyticsSender>,
) : Analytics {
    init {
        init()
    }

    override fun init() {
        senders.sortedBy { it.priority }.forEach { it.init() }
    }
}

interface AnalyticsSender : Analytics {
    val priority: Int?
}

@Module
@InstallIn(SingletonComponent::class)
interface AnalyticsModule {
    @Binds
    @Singleton
    fun analytics(analytics: AnalyticsImpl): Analytics

    @Binds
    @Singleton
    @IntoSet
    fun analyticsSender(analyticsSender: AnalyticsSenderImpl): AnalyticsSender
}

i get this exception from google console
can't reproduce on my device

@argzdev I started getting exceptions after updating Firebase from version 32.0.0 to 32.2.2.
