Android Question Help needed with "RuntimeException Unable to start receiver"

[fredo]

An app is installed on several devices and runs smoothly so far.

However, Crashlytics occasionally reports the following error:

The message in text form:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException

Unable to start receiver com.google.android.datatransport.runtime.scheduling.jobscheduling.AlarmManagerSchedulerBroadcastReceiver: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String android.net.Uri.getQueryParameter(java.lang.String)' on a null object reference
android.app.ActivityThread.handleReceiver

Caused by java.lang.NullPointerException

       at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:616)

The error could not be reproduced in the own area.

There seems to be an approach to the solution here at SO: https://stackoverflow.com/questions...gerschedulerbroadcastreceiver-attempt-to-invo
However, due to a lack of suitable technical background, the hint could not be followed up.


Does anyone have an idea where to start looking for the cause?

From the stack overflow thread, if your issue is the same, then it looks like it's not your problem. I would keep following the Firebase issue raised in the last post and see if they come up with a resolution.
