IssueTracker

I marked the already reported bug as an OEM issue as it's observed only in Samsung devices.

Now as you mentioned it's occurring on all devices I'm happy to investigate it further.

 - Can you provide more details about the affected devices?
 - Also can you please tell me if you're using new Play install referrer API ? If so are you directly importing the AIDL instead of using Play Install Referrer API Client Library?

The original defect report actually does reference that it's happening in multiple devices, but here's info I have:

I am using the Play Install Referrer API Client. The crash, in the last 30 days, has been on over 100 users, over 389 instances total.

The crash in Fabric can be seen at http://crashes.to/s/cf808b50c98.

Thanks for reporting, I have passed these details to the engineering team, and will get back to you once I have update.

Any update on this? It has been 2 years since this issue was reported and this api will be used much more since the INSTALL_REFERRER intent being removed.

Getting same issue in Android 5 and 6. (Gionee and LYF device)
I had used this lib version : implementation 'com.android.installreferrer:installreferrer:1.1.1'

We are also getting this issue. We got 15 crashes just in 1 day.

Are your engineer still working on this issue? 2 years have been passed still no reply from google team.
Now google has also stopped the use of InstallReferrerBroadCast.

And not it will really affect the attribution of many apps.

And *now it will really affect the attribution of many apps.

Total 201 Users affected due to the following crash and InstallReferrer Broadcast receiver will not receive the callback of referrers. So it means on such devices the install referrer attribution will not work.

is any one from google team try to look into it?

Any Update Google team

Just switched to use the Install Referrer Library because Google is removing support for the Install Broadcast. And now I'm seeing this crash come through in Firebase. Very frustrating!

Same crash here. We recently updated the Install Referrer Library because Google is removing support for the Install Broadcast and we see the crash at app launch itself

Same here. We added the install referrer 1.1.2 dependency and the app still crashes.
